Pretty cool of Captain Price to give us a tour of his basement
Great comment!!
This comment made my day
Stay frosty
Lmao, thanks for the weekend chuckle.
Ukraine is in bad shape
My right ear loved the vide, thank you.
I will be sure to take better audio equipment, next time I'm in a fucking war zone. Thanks for enjoying the free content.
@@iainharrison9481 No need for fancy equipment. Just downgrade your audio track from stereo back to mono while editing.
Because clearly your audio for the left side was f*d up.
@rrison9481 it literally takes like 2 clicks to set audio to mono
I'm very relieved to heard my bose didn't just shit the bed.
Dammit that's why i couldnt hear anything. My right speaker doesnt work lmao
5:53 min of best armory tour in my life ngl, no bs straight to the point
He didn't cover all the weapons though. I saw some really interesting ones there!
Well done. No BS. Facts & data.
Thank you!
Thank you for reporting this, I’ve been incredibly curious to the ratio of AKs and AR platforms since the US involvement. Stay safe
It varies widely from unit to unit. I would love to see stats on this too.
They are getting a bunch of AR platforms also from European countries and Canada.
The ratio of AR's is probably low seeing as most western weapons were sold on the black market, the money was laundered. and is currently making its way back into the pockets of our "dear leaders".
at least 90% of units still use ak74... unfortunately.
95% UNITS AK STIL.. INFO FROM THE FRONT LINE.....WEST DOSNT HAVE ENOUGH M16 OR JUST GREEDY
I was a US Army armorer for 15 of my 18 years. Since then I have worked on or rebuilt weapons from all over the world and have also consistently qualified expert, and responsible for unit weapons training. So, I know how challenging the job is, especially keeping the weapons in top condition, but we had a good supply system, Ukraine has far more challenging conditions with a wider selection of weapons. Keep up the good work
Sadly, if trump wins, Ukraine is toast.
Thanks for reporting from Ukraine.
Wow what a gem of a video. Thanks for the tour!
Would love to see more content like this… it’s fascinating to see the different equipment these guys are running.
This is the first video of its kind that I've seen and it kicks ass! Very interesting to see what's being used and what's being preferred. Slava ukraini!

Most likely BRENs in there! Warms my heart knowing UA is getting Czech guns (even though I think the AR is mostly a better weapon...)
(CZ makes other stuff too, but mostly hunting rifles and SMGs like the Scorpion, guessing it's neither of those)
1:48 Ah yes, indeed I was correct! haha
AR a better weapon, you pulled that fact out of r bum ?
I like cz pistols
@@AmazonWebService98 The opinion of which is better is very subjective. Personally, from the experience of using CZ, SCAR, DDM4, I chose the latter. The quality of the CZ materials does not inspire confidence, even with the innovations in the SCAR field. SCAR is very good, but I like the compactness and prise of DDM4 better.
Combat shooting 5k, for reliability - no question
@@AmazonWebService98 shut up larper
It’s crazy how most of these guys have started to use 14.5s. I imagine they are preferring them because the need to fight guys with body armor. Been seeing a lot more guys picking the longer barreled rifles over the shortys.
Isn't 14.5" the current standard barrel length for military ARs?
@@jic1it is for the US some country’s use 10.5-20inch barrels. The 14.5 is the US standard m4 length, but some units use 11.5s. Ik that Ukraine SOF has the 11.5 barrels also but I see most dudes running a longer gun.
longer barrel wont do anything against body armor. At this time, everyone is atleast using lv 3 to stop up to green tip 308@@1GruntZPOV
Men will just look at this and say "Hell Yeah!"
If reports are accurate, the Ukrainians are actually planning to standardize on the CZ Bren 2 as their main service rifle in the coming years. There are even plans to produce them under license in Ukraine under the brand name Sich.
my brother in christ the ukrainians aren't going to exist in the coming years if they don't surrender
That’s pretty sich
"coming years" as if it will be around. Only way I can see that happening is if the US starts putting actual boots on the ground and God I hope that doesn't happen.

Maybe stupid question but are those AR:s imported with
full-auto trigger packs or in semi-auto configuration ?
I'm curious to know too
Obviously full auto. I saw the trigger pin of the daniel defense m4s.
I would not expect they would be semi-automatic. And, on the off chance one was, I would not expect it to remain so for very long.
If its goverment weapon it full auto , if kts yours its semi auto
Our tax dollars at work on the black market...lol. we buy them full auto...but we're stuck with semi-auto unless you're filthy rich. Let's go Brandon

Too bad trump is going to support russia when he's elected. Bye bye ukraine.
Not supporting russia and not paying the bill for their war either. @@huntforagefish4730
Does anyone know what kind ammo they are running with 5.56? M855A1?
Mostly M855 and M193 but I’ve seen a bit of M855A1 also
The boxes in the first shot are marked M855.
More content like this please
Love how simple this tour is… would love to see more like it. Great content!
Great video, would be really cool to know more about what kind of optics they are using. It was a little difficult to see but I spotted quite a few EoTechs, I believe a Vortex Sparc, and I think a Vortex Spitfire but it is hard to tell from where you were standing
I also noticed a SPAS-15 shotgun
Where?
Great coverage! Thanks for this and be safe.
Much appreciated.
Very cool! Appreciate the truth being reported by someone on the front that we can trust.
Of the ammo boxes that can be read, there is a lot of 12.7mm DShK ammo in the room too.
Lots of Daniel Defense in the Ukraine, pretty interesting how most AK’s have been supplanted by AR’s/MCX’s
The Ukrainians have been planning to switch to an AR-pattern rifle since before the current war started (or before the war that started in 2014 intensified, if you want to think of it that way).
you use what you have. Theres this little club called nato that supplies it all and they arent fond of AKs
@@touqasbonquishes9781 It’s true, carried one overseas for awhile
It's just Ukraine, not "the ukraine." That is old soviet terminology.
@@Joe-bm4wx Whether you call it Borderlands or the Borderlands, it's still the border of the USSR into Europe, and thus still "Old soviet terminology".
Ukraine company Ukroboronprom recently got licence to make CZ BREN 2’s so Ukraine officialy adopts nato standard weapons.. and good quality and damn sexy ones at that. CZ BREN 2’s are great but kinda on the more expensive side… this will make them much cheaper. I am prepared to buy one of the BREN’s for me. Its like better SCAR. And cheaper then scar 😂😂❤❤
Fun stuff. Cheers, mate.
Look at the gun rack....on the top is either the soldiers name it primary belongs to/ or marked for storage n location for that rifle which would make more sense since its an armory and having a standard stocking label on racks would help keep track of firearms
Magpul box at 5:15 lol
you know whats ironic? I can't order shit from the website as a veteran living in Seattle. Yet Ukraine can get whatever they need.

Nice to see the CZ boxes, my EVO3 came in the same box but there probably from a Bren 2.
was not expecting this kind of video from this channel, but i'm happy
awesome
Ian from "Top Shot"? I've been wondering what happened to him
thank you, I would have thought MG-3 (german and the older Yugo) and FN-MAG
It’s amazing that UA-camrs in the US will talk shit about the SCAR but it’s really like overseas by warriors who use them on the battlefield
Interesting to hear the PKM is so highly regarded.
Always has been in mostly all wars it’s seen use in. Very reliable and effective
So are the Daniel defense Ars converted to fully auto?
Daniel Defense makes a ton of full auto stuff for military and law enforcement agencies. Those would have come from the factory with that feature.
Think of it the other way around. Daniel Defense ARs are built full auto for military and LE, and then converted to semi-auto to sell to the domestic civilian market.
@@lafeeshmeisterYour language word triggers me. "and then converted to semi-auto". So you're telling me that "the lower" was built to be "full auto first" and "than converted into semi auto" to be sold into the sporting market. Right? First of all you're wrong. DD built "full auto" for military and LE. DD will built "semi auto only" to sporting market. DD doesn't go,"Oh. I'll built all these lowers to be full auto first and than I will convert some of them for the sporting market". Lol.
@@lafeeshmeister That would be illegal in the US.
@@lafeeshmeister So.... welding up the hole for the auto sear pin is legal now? Cool.
why is the audio only on one side of the headphones
Very interesting. I was REALLY hoping to see more of the rifles tho. It looks like there was quite an eclectic variety on those racks.
Nice collection of pin ups
Excellent breakdown, any iwi x95's there? Any knowledge on their reliability in Ukraine?
Did they change the clip on the butt lock for the Bren II? Or they still plastic?
That was AWESOME! Thank you !
Is that the ammo we paid for as well?
The M2 browning has been in US service almost 100 years, and she'll probably last another 50-60 years before they replace her.
Really great video, thank you! I’m curious about the optics use in Ukraine. I see a mix of everything online, I’m curious how prevalent LPVO’s really are compared with a red dot or red dot & magnifier. I’ve also surprisingly seen videos of red dots with open emitters like the Holosun 510c. From your experience are folks often using open emitters? Has it been an issue with them getting the emitter blocked or is that just internet hype?
Those posters on the wall make Tarkov that much more immersive

Hope we see some of them on the European blackmarket

lmaooooo
Beat me to it.
No shit though
Are they satisfied with equipment, quantity ,re stocking

Your government persuaded Ukraine to give its strategic cruiser missiles, long tange bombers and nuclear arsenal to russia. Dont worry, russia will never attack you and we will guarantee your security. Now you havent given Ukraine even a fraction of what you promised and caused the loss of thosands of lives.
There are so many Russian bots in the comments holy shit
Nice and clear look into something I'm curious about? Awesome
That's very interesting... we did the same with AT mine explosives in ww2
Must defend DC’s money laundering operation at all costs.

Oh really? Will you be commanding the fighting?
Probably already captured.
For the amount of my taxes that Biden has granted this war, this is a joke to see. UA-camrs have a better armory that this.
Are you really having a hard time with this?
1. Most of US military equipment aid to Ukraine came from storage facilities, of weapons that would end up being discarded.
2. Total financial support for Ukraine from the US was about 25bil. Most of that did not go into arms.
3. This is a single cache, specifically for one infantry squad, working at a specific position. The frontline alone of this war is about 600 miles long.
You're oddly very focused on 'Biden's' 25bil. support for Ukraine in a period of over 2 years. I wonder if you're just as focused on Trump's 3-4 trillion in covid handouts, or if you're bias and just here to toot your own horn.
@@mp1335 look educated liberal, what bothers me is your lack of understanding war, and how much you support this irresponsible and nato instigated front.

@@ReikerForge doesnt matter if they use the same ammo. this isnt a video game. soldiers need to be using the same weapon for numerous reasons.
@@Withnail1969 Like what? If you're consistently using the same rifle with the same scope and the same ammo, it doesn't matter what the guy next to you is using. Why do you think SWAT and SF run their own kits, completely independent of what the rest of their unit is using?

thank god its not only me, thought my headphones were screwed
Great to see Ian reporting
The use of anti-tank mines is interesting. How do you detonate a detonator in a pile?
I recently saw a interview with somebody from teh chosen company and they seem to be using mostly stuff that can use the same ammo the russians are using, so they can use their mags/ammo when they take their trenches (they used to be a pure storm unit and recently transitioned to more defensive roles), so i guess that also plays a role in what kind of guns you are using. really interesting video, not something you usually see i guess :)
A war journalist who is knowledgeable about weapons?? Outstanding, we need more like him.
