I'm a Canadian. I was shocked when I found out if you take out the major Democrat run city's America goes from 3 to like 150 for gun in the world crime. Also in both Canada and in the States its like 93 percent of gun crime is done with illegally obtained firearms.
Yeah, except that people don't want to acknowledge that
so true @@chandlerbivens2492
If you take any country's major cities out of pretty much any statistics, you tend to get very different results.
Vast majority of the people live in metropolitan areas. Also, GOP run states have the highest gun murder rate per capita, blue states the lowest. Per capita is the stat that matters, but that's where education comes in....🥴
Remove gang crime and suicide from the “gun violence” statistics and it becomes astonishing how a nation with over half a billion guns and trillions of rounds of ammo in civilian hands has such a low gun crime rate.
A free people will not give up their guns.
Except when they realize that people are effing stupid

We just found your videos. After watching this one, I'm convinced you're smarter than half of the U.S. I'm also convinced you'd have no trouble finding knowledgeable and friendly people who would be thrilled to go shooting with you on your next visit. There are over 400 million guns in over 80 million homes here. Don't let the media scare you all but a handful are friendly and respectful folks
2:01 that is not a practical setup, nor was it intended to be. they literally put on as many attachments as they could physically fit, purely for the obsurdity. that's 7 magazines held together with clips intended for storage, a bonus mag on the side, a scope looking into another scope with a 3rd sight mounted on the side of the second scope, a laser and 2 flashlights.
Probably a gun test to see when it would fail or melt.
Yes, this was click bait for lefties. ALL of the guns had unneeded crap added to them to make them look scarier. Should have shown base models.
Its not only for sport here in the US, its our right and for protection against tyrannical governments and if US was invaded.
Mainly, the tyrannical government.
😂 against the military. Yea right
@@jcmar209 Well not a lot of people know that only 13% of the colonies were in rebellion against Britain. Yet they won. So if a rebellion happened it wouldn't take that much people and history proves it. Hit and run tactics. The government would not be able to tell who is the rebel and who is the not.
For the rebels would act like normal citizens when not fighting. Perfect example is this story. I watched a video of a man who served in Vietnam. He was patrolling an area when a nice Vietnamese local came up to him. They talked and the gentleman was expressing his gratitude and thanking him for fighting for them. He invited him to his house for dinner.
So he and his buddies ate at the fellas house and talked. A week later they got jumped by the Viet-cong, and lo and behold, after the fight when they were going through the dead, there was that guy who fed them dinner, dead as a door nail holding his AK47. They had not a clue that he was a rebel, and if crap happens here than that stuff will happen too. Which now you will be wondering, well the government has tanks, aircraft, and missles. Okay your right so did we during Vietnam.
Yet the Viet-cong still won. Just because you have all this technology doesn't mean crap. Hate to say it, same thing in Afghanistan too. Not only that, who is the government going to send? You think an American soldier will fire and kill a U.S. rebel?
They take an oath to protect the people and the constitution, not the government. There will be defectors from the military dude. They will join the rebellion and fight against the government. Now what if the government starts bombing and shooting missles into cities? You know the whole world is going to be watching.
You think Britain, Canada, and other countries will sit back and do nothing? They would definitely help the rebellion. People, from these countries, would see the missles and bombs dropping on the cities, and will think no wonder the rebels are trying to overthrow their government. They are killing innocent people. The government would lose if a revolution would happen.
Just look at other revolution during history. 9 times out of ten the rebels win. Hoped this help. Oh and the military ran a battle simulation of if a rebellion happened against the government. The rebels would win. I would link the video but youtube has since taken it down.
@@jcmar209The desert dwellers in the middle east killed plenty of Americans and put up a real fight for decades. It doesn't matter if you think it is possible, because our forefathers did and........shall not be infringed!
Yes against SOME of the us military. Don’t lose this debate in front of guests
In the US fully automatics are a whole different beast from semi automatics, legally speaking. You guys should check out Brandon Harrera.
One thing he said that hits home is how shooting is family fun. When you do visit a range and after you're comfortable with the safety basics, I suggest finding a dueling tree target. The row of targets flap back and forth, so you can race each other clearing your side of the tree.
All these guns were semiautomatic, full auto takes special licensing. Hunting rifles are much bigger than these sporting rifles. (Excluding the .50 BMG)
Dueling trees are fun. In SoCal, I competed against about 60 other people in a dueling tree match and managed second place. The guy who beat me is the father of Steel Challenge, Mike Dalton......which he started when I was filling diapers. If only they compared the power of each cartridge and showed the what a wood stock mini14 or M1 Garand looks like compared to black rifles. Silhouette competitions are also very fun and I used to run 3 gun, action pistol, idpa, etc. People have no idea it is similar to auto racing, where there are many versions of the sport with many people who participate.
It's foreign to me as someone who's been around guns all my life.. I was shooting shotguns by myself with my first cousins squirrel and rabbit hunting from around age 8.. and with zero adult supervision too.. we were running all over our dad's farms and shooting shotguns or .22s and during deer season we were shooting high-powered rifles like 30-06 etc... so as someone completely steeped in gun culture from a very young age, it's interesting to see people in anti-gun societies react to guns with fear and/or aversion, etc... :)
politics-induced hoplophobia is real. Why be informed, if your politician of choice tells you how it is, already? XD
Same here
I wish I had grown up that way. It's safer. I was raised with no knowledge or exposure and once my husband finally took me to the range, it took time to get me physically confident when handling a gun. I wasn't raised to be afraid of them in particular, just no exposure at all.
11:10 Most firearms sold to civilians are generally semi-automatic only. The only way you can get a fully automatic firearm in the United States is by buying one that has a history of being registered before 1986 as a "machine gun" (runs around $20,000 to $60,000 a piece) or by aquiring special licenses (Federal Firearms License and Special Occupational Taxpayers License) because of the Hughes Amendment that was passed in 1986. Otherwise you are stuck with semi-automatic firearms.
I've seen some light machine guns like the M60 go for over $100k, and if you really have absurd amounts of money, you can buy an M134 minigun for around $250k. FFL/SOT is definitely the cheaper route. Hoping to get that set up when I move, so I can start up a little bit of extra income as well as do things like buy an M249 and drop a full-auto trigger pack in it without risking 10+yrs in prison lol
RIP Berry! I used to watch both these guys back in the day and I still watch Iraq veteran. He has a very informative channel.
I had a few of the guns on their list but I lost them in a boating accident unfortunately. The reality is that America has a gun culture built into it from our founding, and a vast majority of Americans that own guns are responsible. The type of people that would defend a random family in the event that someone with bad motives tried to cause harm. But I appreciate that you mentioned the tyrannical government. That is really the fundamental point of the second amendment. America was founded on fighting a tyrannical government, which is why when our constitution was written, our new government determined that the citizens should have the means to fend off tyranny in the name of freedom. If you come to the states again I hope you can get to a range it is a lot of fun.
Did you actually lose them in a boating accident or is this some gun owners joke? I swear every gun owner has lost their guns in a boating accident 😂😂

My Grandfather was born in 1917 Brooklyn New York. He and his Brother were on the High School Marksmanship Team. He told me that they would walk from their neighborhood to the Subway and continue on to School with their Remington .22 caliber Rifles slung on their back. Practice and compete after School and return home the same. He told me this when I was in Middle School in the early 80's. If he were still alive he wouldn't recognize America's Fallen Liberties.
Can you imagine having to call the police station every time you wanted to run to the store with your handgun concealed?
Having worked at a large gun shop (Palmetto State Armory has several thousand firearms on hand at their larger stores at any point), I can say you'd have been far from the only foreign visitors to want to get a closer look at the US scene. I always enjoyed (on slower days) taking the time to allow people from outside the US to have an experience. They couldn't buy, but they could touch...and lots of pictures got taken. Even arranged to meet a few at the gun range and let them try shooting my personal weapons. Good times.

Our rights are literally eroding day by day in front of our own eyes...
Govt, can't take away Rights, especially any from the Bill of Rights. There is a process in how amendments are created or repealed...and it involves the States voting (3/4's, that's 38 states) on amendments. As well as 2/3's vote in the House and Senate. There's a reason in our 247 year history, we only have 27 amendments.
@@ricks.1092I agree it can’t happen easily, but I don’t ever say never. With the right people in certain positions, any government can do anything. It’s not out of the realm of possibility. History also proves that.
@Your New Zealand Family in all honesty Rifles like the AR-10 and AR-15 are legal for use to hunt the many Deer species in the U.S. though some states have different regulations on the bullet diameter used or the cartridge case design. There is only one state that I can think of that restricts the action type allowed for legal harvesting of game species (PA ....unless the regs have changed over the last few years) PA HAD (and may still have) a semi-auto ban for hunting
you can't hunt with an AR 15 in Florida unless it's 300 blackout or larger. not deer anyways.
@@wolfdesikan1766So you can hunt with an AR-15 in Florida. It just has to be the appropriate caliber for the species.
@@ButterfatFarms yeah 300 blackout or higher. I've hunted with my slr 95 in 7.62 x39. The point though is the "preferred rifle for mass shootings" is usually fired at people in a caliber not authorized for deer.
@@wolfdesikan1766 I'm not a hunter but I thought, or what I read, is Florida allows hunting deer with any handgun or rifle that's at least .23 cal. with a min. case length of 1.16". So I guess the minimum caliber you're going to commonly find an AR-15 in is as you said .300 blackout?
@@ButterfatFarms yes.
I just had a range day with a few of my friends for my birthday, testing out my new 1911 also. There was also a couple there with their 2 kids and the kids were having fun also. loads of fun for and everyone and everyone was being safe, nothing bad happened :)
The .50 bmg(the really big bullet) is about $3 per round for the cheap stuff. About $5 to $7 per round for high quality or specialty rounds(tracers, armor piercing incendiary).
I wish you had gone to a gun shop, or better yet a gun shop with a shooting range. If you had they would have been very happy to answer any questions and if they had a range they would have been happy to help you SAFELY fire a few rounds. Law abiding gun owners in the US are, for the most parts, some of the friendliest people you will meet. If you had visited Phoenix I would have been happy to take you to the range.
You were absolutely right about the second amendment. Our founding fathers had just rebelled against a tyrannical government and they wanted to ensure the people would always have a means to rebel should our government ever become tyrannical too. We would never let them take them. 🇺🇲
This is a very old video. The old guy, Barry if I remember correctly, has passed away. They were not related, just co-workers. As for kids on the rifle, I took a family out to teach them to shoot a few weeks ago. The youngest girl, around 10, did amazingly well. Always obeyed the 4 safety rules and shot just about everything I took - she bowed out on the 308 hunting rifle. I did have to help her hold the AR because I had my suppressor on it to tame the flinch from the loud noise. As for hunting, I use my AR-15 every year for dear. In Oregon - the state I live in - I have to use a 5 round max magazine for hunting, but that goes for any rifle we hunt with. It makes for a light, compact package that is easy to carry in the brush. All of the guns shown were semi-auto. We can own fully auto, but it had to be originally put on the registry before 1986. That makes a simple $1k AR15/M16 a $20k collector.
I can see your lack of comfort and confusion watching it, but i really appreicate you guys being respectful and watching the whole video
Missed you guys !!!! USA Washington State !!!! 🙋♂
My wife and I were in NZ at the Aukland airport coming home exactly one day after the Christchurch shooting. We had been out in the woolies for two weeks fishing and knew nothing of it, as we had no means of hearing the news while we were there. The airport security took us to a back room and gave us a very thorough questioning about our business in NZ and if we had been to the South Island. Very strange since the shooter was Australian, not American. We didn't know what it was all about until we got to Houston. So sorry your government stole all of your semi automatic weapons over one sick freak.
I live in the states. Most of my life has been spent in the deserts and mountain regions, so I have always been around guns, I own more than a couple, and I love them. I wouldn't want to be 1 of the government officials who wants to take them from me.😊 Love your channel tho. It's been fun learning things from a different perspective.
Some people do hunt with these guns. Most of us use them for home defense, sporting purposes etc
Bad idea to give up your guns to your government .
Always keep in mind, that the more you see such people who are as knowledgeable on guns, are also big nuts on gun safety and do not want others to take it lightly at any time. God bless the 2nd amendment! 👍
The Barrett 0.50 cal rounds are around $100 per round. After I left the Army, I kept my M82 A1 Barrett and when I take it to the range, I have to order my rounds as most ranges and shops do not carry the rounds for them.
Hey guys: FYI, the ammo for that Barrett .50 caliber rifle is about five dollars US. The semi-auto rifles can be used for hunting, although the .223/5.56x45 cartridge is a bit anemic for critters bigger than say, a goat (size comparison). The 7.62x39 round found in the AK variant rifles is good for animals up to deer size. Generally, magazine capacity when hunting game animals (think deer, as opposed to varmints like prairie dogs, rock chucks, etc) is usually restricted to 5 rounds in the gun (the rifle with all of those mags on it was to demonstrate attachments for extra magazines). I don't know of anyone that hunts with a full auto rifle. For starters, there are better choices that are a LOT less expensive (say, $1500.00 for a nice AR-15 and $15,000.00 and UP for anything full auto) and besides, many states ban the possession of full auto guns. I'm sorry that the New Zealand government is so untrusting of it's decent, law abiding citizens that you have to belong to a club to own a handgun, and be required to log when and where you go with it. That sort of thing is part of the reason we told George III to go stuff himself. Have a good day, and behave yourselves!
hello from Texas , really enjoyed the video and its interesting seeing y’alls perspective on the matter . I personally love guns because they’re fun ass heck and find comfort in the fact me and my family have a fighting chance in the case of emergency 🚨
Your family should try and visit a range when you next visit the US. It would be a cool experience for all of you, but more than anything, it would be a great learning experience. I imagine if you set up your visit in advance, you can have 1-on-1 time with an instructor.
ARs are used for so e hunting, but typically not game animals. Others have mentioned feral hogs (the few I know who hunt hogs use the more powerful AR-10), but I've also heard of people using the more common AR-15 for varmint hunting (coyotes, prairie dogs, etc.)
I'm currently in the South Carolina "Lowcountry." Here, the AR15 is more popular for dealing with the rather severe hog and coyote problem than the AR10. But that has to do with terrain. Thick swampy land means short range. Due to this, a popular setup is AR15 in 300 Blackout with a night optic and suppressor.
Crazy how two people in a different country understand the Second Amendment more than the anti-gunners who live in this country. Thank you for your video! You have a new subscriber. 🇺🇸
Those guns are 100% used for hunting and self defense people use the 50 bmg for large game and its an amazing rifle. There is even a video where a guy uses a barret a1 50 cal to shoot a coyote with a thermal scope.
Depending where you buy the ammo and what type FMJ, Armor Piercing, Tracer, etc the .50 ammo can go for between $4-$12 USD per round. Probably a little cheaper if you buy everything individually and make the ammo yourself.
Those are definitely all semi. These guys have an FFL and do have access to machine guns. Which is why they have footage of them. And the only gun on that table you could hunt with is the shotgun. The rifles are too weak and wont reliably kill game. And the 50 cal would blow up the game. Ive actually shot one before. And i took down a tree with it. 50 BMG full metal jackets which is the cheapest by the way is around $10 a round.
So surprisingly, although America is known for guns, we actually have a lot more laws than you would think. All of those were semiautomatic, as automatics are very expensive, as anything made after 1986 is basically unobtainable for anyone outside military or law enforcement. Pre ban automatics cost at minimum 20,000 USD, and can take years to find for sale and go through the extensive paperwork. Also, suppressors are registered with government as well, and can take up to a year to get approval to own one.
So to your point about bazookas, those are very expensive and not able to be acquired by the average American, and the ammo is explosive so that is also highly regulated.
That is some insane regulations you have in NZ. Glad I live in Texas :). As we joke if they were to ever force a gun turn in, dang I lost all of my guns in a fishing accident ;)
I’ve been shooting for years. I’ve shot a fully automatic machine gun at the range a few times. As far as owning one, legally, it’s very expensive because they haven’t made them for the civilian market since 1986. If you have the opportunity to obtain one, you will be fingerprinted, photographed, and the gun is registered with the ATF (Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms). Usually the only way you can buy one is through auction or they are passed down to family members. No one is buying fully automatic weapons in gun shops or gun shows.
Great video i loved seeing yalls opinion and point of view on the topic
There is a reason why Britain doesn't allow guns - they say it's to prevent deaths, but if you really think about what happened in the USA. the fact that citizens had weapons is why they are free from Britain in the first place, they don't want that to happen again. so if they keep weapons out of the hands of the people, theres little chance of a revolt
Those were all semi-auto rifles. With exception of the last big one, the other 4 guns are all usable for hunting, fun, or home defense. Most AR 15s and the Tavor shoot the same bullets, only major difference is the length of the guns and the feel of how they operate. On the receiving end, no different. You can hunt deer, hogs, or other common game animals with any of the first 4 guns reasonably well.
To answer the question of what guns you can legally get in the US to the best of my ability:
At the age of 18 years old, you can purchase any long gun (rifles, shotguns, etc.).
At the age of 21 years old, you can purchase pistols.
As for what guns you can't own, generally the rule of thumb is fully automatic weapons and explosive.
Technically, you can own both, but they, to my knowledge, require special licensing.
You can also own a flamethrower at 18, due to their use in agriculture.
All firearm purchases from a location with a Federal Firearms License (FFL) is subject to an FBI background check.
Other than FFL shops, private sales are the only other legal way of obtaining a firearm. The regulations on these vary widely between states.
Concealed carry also varies from state to state, from outright illegal, to needing a Concealed Carry Permit, to Constitutional Carry in which you can conceal carry by default.
As for shooting ranges, many will let you rent guns from the establishment. Some even carry full-auto guns that you can rent.
If you guys decide to go to a range, don't hesitate to ask if one of the employees can help show you the ropes, especially with safety. Easiest way to get hurt by a gun is to not respect it for what it is, though that's not to say you should fear them.
A single round for the Barratt is around $3-$5 per round. And they no longer cost as much as $12K. You can find similar models that shoot the same round (.50 Cal.) for around $5-$9k. And the video from Moss Pawn is really old...The old man (Barry) passed away like 10 years ago.
Yes it is usually for fun. But also basic firearm knowledge is great especially in the US where you will see guns and as a kid there is a good chance you will come across them. It is good to know how to deal with them. I started shooting at age 4 and got my first pistol at 8. Having respect for firearms and growing up around them also keep the mystery of them down and they are just seen as a tool. FYI machine guns are legal but only ones produced before 1986 making them rare and really expensive. And yes the 2A comes down to the people having power over their govt.
That last rifle, the $13,000 .50 Cal... you asked how much the ammo costs... the price varies, depending on where in the U.S. you are. I'm in Texas, and the budget friendly rounds are about $10 per bullet. For perspective, the first couple of rifles in this video are built for 5.56 caliber rounds. In my area, 5.56 runs about $13.00 for a box of 20.
In many US states, it is illegal to hunt with a 5.56, which is the most common chambering of an AR; not because it’s too powerful, but because it is considered to be too weak, to humanely harvest a deer.
Actually, with 5 round magazines like any other rifle, you can hunt deer in some states with an AR-15, but the rounds are so tiny that you wouldn't want to hunt anything larger. The AR-10 in .308 caliber is another story, .308 or 7.62x51 is a common hunting caliber, which as a hunter you would know or for long range shooting. The Barett is actually used for long range target shooting and it's the only one of all of those that is actually used by the military as an anti-vehicle and anti-personnel weapon, but still a semi-automatic rifle. My son was issued one in the Marines in Iraq and in the National Guard here in Oregon where he was a sniper team leader. Watch some videos of people shooting it in slow motion and you will see the waves generated from the blast rippling through them. If you shoot it enough in a short span of time, his description was like standing in front of the large speakers at a rock concert, it can actually make you ill. So, if they needed to burn up old ammo, they would get as many people from the company together and let everyone try it, clerks, cooks, anyone who wanted to. He mentioned the price of the gun. That's without the several thousand dollars for an appropriate scope system. You could easily be into the whole package $15,000 or more.
2nd Generation American, I am 2A activists, It is powerful to have security in your own hands to defend your family, we do have a political class which puts us in danger all the time for their feel good policies. We will never comply with Tyranical laws that
Goes against our constitution.
remember semi=auto is one round (shot) with each pull of the trigger with release of the trigger for reset,, full =auto is one pull of the trigger with no release reset will dump the mag (fire all the ammo in the magazine)
This is a old video. Berry the old guy passed away awhile ago. RIP to Berry. As a civilian you can own semi auto unless you have a specific license to have automatic.
Not a license... just a 200 tax.
The only firearm they showed that would not normally be used for "hunting" is the last one, the Barrett 50 cal. All the others are very suitable for hunting game animals, as long as the bullet weight and cartridge length comply with the local hunting regulations. Here in Wyoming, the bullet has to have a weight of at least 60 grains to be used for larger game such as deer or antelope. Lighter than 60 grain bullets would be used to hunt predators such as coyotes, wolves, fox, mountain lion, raccoon, among others. I use my AR-15 rifles to help keep the prairie dog and raccoon population in check on the land I grew up on. They are all very effective tools for the job they are used for. One other thing to bear in mind is that the AR in AR-15 stands for Armalite Rifle, with the number following designating the model number. I have an AR-9, which is a carbine rifle chambered in 9X19 , commonly used in 9mm pistols. I also have an AR-10, chambered in .243 Winchester, which is my premier deer rifle. The AR-7 Explorer was a .22 caliber survival rifle that disassembled easily for compact carrying and storage. AR does not stand for "assault rifle" or "automatic rifle", as is usually the case when reported on by the media, who almost always get their reports wrong. If you would like more information, feel free to contact me any time. I'd love to talk with you, and would love it even more if you were to accept the offer of visiting here in my home state of Wyoming, where you can see so many incredible places, such as Yellowstone National Park, Devil's Tower, Hell's Half Acre (where they filmed the movie Starship Troopers) The Big Horn Mountain Range, Devil's Kitchen, The Red Gulch Dinosaur Track Site, The Buffalo Bill Historic Museum, and far too many other incredible places to name. Our door is always open! Contact me at Pilotage@aol.com if you want to know more. I enjoy your uploads! Thanks for sharing your learning experiences! Eric
To answer the question, most of these do have hunting purpose. I mean, maybe you don't take the .50 BMG to go hunt unless you want to bag that T-Rex or something but the regular rifles and even the shotgun could be used to hunt deer, or hogs, or most things that have 4 legs. You have to pick your ammo right and maybe, depending on locality, have to change what magazine you are bringing, but you can hunt with these
Most of my firearms are semiauto hand held and sporting long arms, 7mm mag for hunting, 454 casull with 4x scope for hunting, the rest are .22 to .45 for target and plinking cans. I taught my daughter how to shoot when she was seven and purchased a 7mm08 for her when she turned 16. All in all I enjoy owning 14 total firearms.
Please know "simi automatic" only means one pull of the trigger means one bullet shot. Almost every gun/ rifle is a semi automatic. Automatic is military.
I just sold my Grandmother's shotgun to a gun shop. Michigan has a new law on storing weapons. I have reduced my personal arsenal to fewer types of calibers. I also carry special liability insurance for my weapons. I have a concealed weapons permit. I don't really need it because where I live, everyone else has a firearm at the ready. 'Merica!
Next time yall are in the eastern USA id be more than happy to be your personal gun tour guide! Lol. I grew up around firearms, and have quite a few of my own. I love when people unfamiliar with the topic show interest!
Love this content, happy yall are chill enough to talk about and appreciate guns!
We have a shooting range about 10 miles from our house where you can fire the 50cal. It's a rush, cost about 5 dollars a round to shoot.
just fyi here in kansas 10 bucks a shot normally but right now about 15 on the 50 cal
and that is just a normal round they go up after that
Back in the day, I remember when it was $5 a round for .50 cal. Even then I said, hell nah!
I live in Arizona. We have open carry. The first day I moved here from California I stopped to get a coke at a circle k convenience store. And there was 3 people a head of me in line with guns in their hips. I was shocked.
Open carry is where anyone can openly carry a gun as long as you pass a background check and take annual safety class.
@@walterjaymitchell7428 It varies by state. My state (Colorado) is an open-carry state, meaning that most adults are allowed to openly carry a firearm without a permit. For concealed carry a permit is required though...
American civilians own roughly 50% of all the civilian-owned firearms in the world. There's a reason we're still free(ish).
2:04 That’s not for sale. Those are 7 individual magazines build into an assembly.
3:51 No. The AR’s have many plastic parts making them lighter. AR stands for Armalite Rifle, which was the original designer and manufacturer of that rifle. That design is nearly a standardized design now with a version of that design being made by almost every gun manufacturer.
Each 50 Cal bullet roughly costs around $12 US Dollars, if you have the right buyer to get them of of probably about $8 US Dollars each.
As for laws it varies heavily depending on the state. In many places you are more restricted in what you can own than many EU countries.
For the NZ the bullet in an AR is 5.56mm if that gives you an idea about how big the bullet is. The .50 cal is 1/2 an inch or 12.7mm.
In diameter...
2 youtubers that had close calls while shooting 50 cals, Whistlin Diesel and Kentucky Ballistics, Both lucky to be still be here👍
They were shooting SLAP rounds out of a .50 with a muzzle compensator. The sabot can get hung in the compensator causing an overpressure that explodes the gun.
This is well known to military members familiar with the .50 cal weapon system. It is covered in the M-107 .50 cal training manual (NSN1005-01-469-2133) as a forbidden projectile.
"AMMUNITION -

Ammunition that predates 1965 should not be fired through this weapon"
When America was part of the UK, the UK didn't regulate guns of the colony. So whatever weapon the UK military had, the colonists themselves had, be it muskets, rifles, or pistols. At the time things heated up with the UK in the 1760s and came to a boil in the 1770s, the colony didn't have a standing military at all we only had militias. The militias were just local groups that formed in communities that would bring their own weapons out to train and practice shooting. These men became known as the minutemen, as they were to be ready at a minute's notice when something was about to happen.
Fast forward to the infamous "shot heard around the world" that kicked off our fight for independence, it wasn't a standing army that faced the British on April 19, 1775 in Lexington and Concord, it was farmers, bartenders, blacksmiths, teachers. It was the everyday citizen with their own firearm, it was these people that fought and chased the British back to Boston and then laid siege to the city. Even when we declared our independence and we formed an American military, the militias were still at work, fighting alongside the American military and even doing stuff behind enemy lines.
When the war ended and we formed our country and the constitution was being written, the founders knew how important these militias were in protecting the country. Really for a long time the US military was kept very small for this very reason, the War of 1812 fought against the British, the vast majority of the ground forces were militias, nearly 500,000 citizen soldiers vs around 35,000 US army soldiers. This all changed during WW1 and has ballooned in size, removing balance since then. The founders felt uneasy about a standing military that would take orders from the President, and if a tyrannical president came to power they could order them to do some horrific things and potentially seize control of the country as a king. The founders saw the citizens and the militias as a check on government power which is why they wanted the citizens to be armed.
We have seen in history how important citizen soldier are. From our revolution to the war of 1812, you saw it happen everywhere in WW2, in Asia during the Korean War and Vietnam war. You saw it in just the last few years. When Russia invaded Ukraine, what did you see? You saw Zelensky open up armories in police stations around the country and give automatic weapons to citizens so they could fight. Which is funny because I saw people cheer that on that have been calling for our own citizens to be disarmed. This is the one issue I will never change my mind about, and I will never give up my guns, well that is if I didn't already lose them in an unfortunate boating accident.
"Unfortunate boating accident" 😂😂
50 bmg is about $10 per round for standard fmj to $100 per round for exotic rounds like Sabot Light Armor Penetrator rounds
So a 50 bmg per round cost for civilian ammo is between 4 and 10 dollars per round just depends on the ammo
My friends were at the range when they saw some very out of place people walking around. They were law students from Belgium studying in New York who flew down to texas to experience American gun culture. They did not come to shoot but meerly observe. When they wandered over to my friends they were welcomed and after a safety lesson, and under supervision, were shooting my friends guns. One of them remarked all that he had heard about us being crazy backwards weirdos or something to that effect. Then went on to say they were nothing like that. They were friendly, inviting, and happy to share knowledge and experience with new people. So the whole world might think we are crazy but 7 law students who had a first hand experience will be able to correct them on that.
I shot my first gun when I was like 6-7 and my family went hunting all the time, and I live in a very safe state. The people who own them legally for sport or personal protection aren’t usually the problem. My dad always said if someone bad wants to get a gun they’re gonna do it whether it’s legal or not so ‘good people’ should be allowed to get them legally to be able to protect themselves.
Firing a .50 BMG is about $5 per round for the boring rounds. When you get into armor piercing and/or explosive rounds, you can easily get to $100 per round.
The ammunition for the .50 caliber rifle usually runs about 5-7 dollars each.
for the .50BMG rounds, you were asking how much they cost, well I have been paying about $8.50 ish per round, now there are some out there that are less expensive, but I prefer to have certain charateristics with my ammo that others do not care about, my .50 BMG's I prefer to have hollow tipped, NOT HOLLOW POINTS, but hollow tipped, because it moves the center of gravity towards the rear of the bullet, providing a truer spin on the bullet while also increasing the velocity of the bullet allowing it to effectively reach out about an additional 500 yeards, I also use the boat tailed design, to largely dispense with the turbulance in flight that a normal square tailed bullet has, this increases accuracy, and again helps to extend the effective range of the shot. I have seen .50 BMG rounds for as little as $3,00 per shot, and some speciality rounds can cost as much as $100.00 per round, such as the rouphus round, which is a particularily nasty round.
The Bill of Rights (amendments 1-10 in our constitution) came as a result of British Government trying to take our rights away before the Revolutionary War. Guns, ammo, and powder were some of the first things they tried to take. It was when the British army marched from Boston to Concord Massachusetts to seize the guns, ammo and powder of the colonists that the "Shot Heard Around the World" happened when the colonists tried to stop them in Lexington. Ever since them Americans have ever been leery of governments, even their own. In America the real government IS the people. What we sometimes refer to as "The Government" is an institution we established and tolerate supposedly for our mutual protection and good.
in the US fully automatic firearms are regulated under the NFA, and as such they need a tax stamp and due to some other regulations new fully automatic firearms seldom enter the market if ever. So basically, if it isn't over 30 years old you can't find a fully automatic variant of the rifle on the civilian market, and everything that is on the books and fully auto costs an egregious amount of money now as they are a finite product. So everything you see in the video that they are selling and covering on the counter is semi-automatic. Regulations regarding semiautomatic firearms vary a lot state to state region to region as do laws around pistols etc, but fully automatic firearms are regulated federally so that is largely the same everywhere unless your state has laws prohibiting NFA items. Gun laws vary a lot state to state and as such what is available and how available said items are varies a LOT. Even in some states there is a divide in enforcement. NY is a good example of this as in the more rural regions and upstate areas of the state acquiring a pistol permit is significantly easier than it is in the NYC metro area and on Long Island despite all being in the same state. This is due to how the laws are structured in the state and how there are even differences in municipalities within the same state. Essentially many if not most things in the US are governed bottom up, not top down, and this often causes a lot of confusion to non americans and to americans who are more ignorant of how our system actually functions.
There's 20 million AR 15 alone in the US and that's not counting home built ones or anything that is similar. A ban or buyback here would be a Herculean task even if the owners were willing to comply.
Keep in mind also that out of the 45000 ish gun deaths a year only 500 tend to be by long gun. ( Ie rifle or shotgun which includes but is not limited to AR-15)
And of those 45k deaths each year, about 11k are homicide, about 500 are police shootings, 500 are accidental, and the rest are suicides.
And if the UK, Ireland, and Aussie gun bans are any historical indication those numbers won't change ... only the tool used will change.
Howdy NZ family, fellow Texan here a lot of us here in Texas love to use guns recreationally or for sport shooting. Day at the range, bush plinking, etc. y’all should check out some of the local gun shows or shooting ranges that’ll really knock your socks off. Tons of guns to browse and check out.
Great video y’all! That’s an older video from some great guys in Georgia. So to answer your question on the hunting, folks do hunt with most of those rifles (minus the .50 for the most part). I’m sure that you could hunt with that but it’s cost prohibitive for most folks. Cheers from South Carolina.
You all are the best! Great videos. Seem like a great family. Much love
I hunt with either my AK47 or AR15. I have found that they dispatch deer and coyotes extremely well. Our country does have a gun culture that started back when we were a colony under British rule. The first shots of the Revolutionary War were fired at Lexington and Concord. The British had demanded our disarmament and that was enough. Let us know before your return to the states and we'll arrange for some range time. Be blessed, awesome family
We, in the United States , Can own many different arms depending on state and local laws. Everything from a .22 caliber Darringer palm pistol to a 155mm cannon. Also tanks, armored personnel carriers, and fighter aircraft. To own a real machine gun, first it must have been built in or imported to the U.S. prior to May 19, 1986, second it must be registered, and third you must pay a $200 tax. The same register and tax also holds true for short barreled shotguns, short barreled rifles, grenades, rockets, most ammunition of 20mm or higher(mostly those with an explosive projectile), most arms with a bore of 20mm or more.
One of our countries founding ideas is that a person has the right to defend themselves and their property. Our constitutions second amendment was written so broadly with the intent that civilians could have equal weaponry to the government.
I know you guys joked about "get the kids a rifle?" but many kids in rural USA were given low caliber rifles at a young age to learn gun safety. something like a .22 caliber. Basically nothing more than a BB gun on steroids. and while still a gun, and having a very fast and long traveling bullet (gun safety isn't something to be tossed aside because of the lethality of a bullet) however, unless you shoot someone in the head or heart it's not likely to be lethal. And many of us who weren't given a 22 or other type of rifle grew up with Red Rider BB guns shooting cans and bottles in the back yard, learning an even safer version first before we were handed our first guns. Many kids who were given guns were given them under strict circumstances like "it will stay at grandpa's house and you can shoot it when you're with him only" or something like that. You also take a gun safety course to get your hunters permit to be able to buy hunting tags. It would remain in the parents possession until it was time to go hunting or target practicing.
The younger you teach your kids the more freedom you can give them with firearms, like knowing where they are kept and how to access them incase of an emergency like a robbery or an attack. Knowing how to safely act around and with guns is much safer and more responsible than being kept away from them and hidden and then stumble across them without guidance and knowledge one day.
