- Which guns are the most durable? In this episode of the “TFBTV Goes to Hollywood” series, James Reeves speaks with Larry Zanoff of Independent Studio Services about which of the 16,000 guns ISS keeps in inventory are the most reliable. ISS’s guns are rented out for Hollywood productions, video games, and more throughout the year, and these guns have millions of cumulative rounds run through them. Thus, Larry and the gang at ISS have an idea of what the five most durable guns are based upon their extensive experience firing blank and conventional ammunition through real guns. Which 5 are the hardest working? Watch today’s video to find out.

The most durable and reliable gun I own is my Remington 700... I never shoot it.
You had me in the first half, not gonna lie
It'll last forever, bro
@@stefanmolnapor910 idk if that was intentional....but i'm cracking up
If it's never been shot, 0/0 is 100% reliable.
That being said, there is the unknown unknown, you could go to sight it, and suddenly that reliability could drop to 0/1.
@@stefanmolnapor910 they are so good at going bang sometimes they just do it on their own
We all know what #4 was when James couldn't stop that stupid grin on his face.
😂😂
Could pretty much see his full-on Glock boner.
@@Xeonerable I thought it would flip the bench over.
Of course the Lego pistol makes it on the list.
Hi Point
James: *Sees Glock and AR on the list* "I'm happy"
James: *Sees AK at Number 1 spot* "I'm not happy"
Brandon Herrera: "The motherland wins again"
really enjoyed it because it is refreshing to watch two very knowledgable converse.
Also, I have owned them all except the H&K which I thought was cool. To live in a country where an ordinary citizen. can do that is a blessing.
Course the ak is no1, you could shove a dead mouse in the back and it'd still work just fine. Still prefer the German guns though like the g36 and mg42
I'm surprised that there wasn't a high point considering what demo ranch has done to them and what it took to break them
Yeah!!! Cause Herrera is so Slavic.
Recommended by nine out ten Green Berets in Loas. Where is the tenth, he is still trying to pry the AK out of the dead NVAs hands. If you can see the case in the chamber pull the trigger and the bolt will go back rust covered no problem. Later add motor oil and rub with rag .
5. Sig pistols
4. Glock pistols
3. MP5 series
2. AR platform
1. AK-47
You're welcome for the saved 17 minutes of your life.
Boring, predictable, and way too slow.
There is a special place in heaven for people like you
Extra info can't hurt
thank you mat
Thanks
You can't really argue with sig reliability. They go bang every time you pull the trigger...
Even when you don't, they can go bang anyway.
Zesty
It's almost not fair ti include the P320 into the discussion but Sig has put their name on it, so they own it. While the P226 might be my all time favorite hand gun, I think I'd take a Taurus G2c over a P320.
@@SuperUncleRyan NOTHING wrong with a G2C.
The mosquito was a skunk
@@terry6831 the mosquito wasn't made by sig tho? Wasn't it made by another manufacturer and just had Sigs name on it?
Forgotten Weapons did a video with a Canadian competitor to ISS that focused on what they have to do to make a normal weapon function with stage blanks. Obviously manuals (revolvers, lever guns, pump guns, bolt guns, etc.) are the easiest as they often need no modification at all but they said it was quite a challenge to figure out how to make a Glock blank friendly, they have to do a lot to it to make it reliable on set. Conversely they found the Beretta 92 to be one of the easiest semi-autos to convert to shooting blanks reliably.
Ak guys after watching this:
"I see no other god up here other than me"
Truer words have not been spoken
I was a AR guy for YEARS. Never really paid mind to the AK and it's "hype" or so I thought. Ended up getting one thrown in for a trade on one of my other guns. I neglected the shit out of that thing like it was a shameful love child born from a night with a $40 prostitute. Never failed regardless of how much I WANTED it to. Finally broke down and acknowledged the hype behind their reliability was well founded. Now I own more AK's than AR's. AR is still the king of customizability and ergonomics though. That said I'd trust every one of my AK's to run like a top regardless of which I reached for and if it was well lubed / cleaned or not
Johnny Blaze ARs are great for a lot of things, but when it’s the worst day imaginable I’m picking my AK every time no questions asked!
Get rid of one of those “others”
I think I felt James' soul die a little bit when they got to that #1 spot and it wasn't filled with a Glock or an AR lol
I'm still combing the comments for Brandon Herrera, because this video is some seriously low hanging fruit for a snarky comment from him.
@@Gottaculat no lie. I'm sure someone will bring it to his attention lol.
@Johaans Döe cool? I own lots of different weapons, from a variety of companies and eras (1900 - Present), and for the most part they all run reliably. My Stevens semi-auto .22 rifle from the 50s is the only one that consistently jams on me. This isn't me taking a shot at you or your firearms choices, just commenting on how most firearms will work consistently if you take care of them.
Best comment on the AK I ever heard was, "If you are going to another planet, and you think you might need a gun. Take an AK."
Wasn’t that Soviet philosophy when they started doing space stuff
This is a very cool concept. I do wonder about bore wear on blanks vs. live rounds and how that factors into these firearms in the video.
Well now that you’ve made this point, it is all I can think about.
Accuracy is not a criterion for a prop gun.
@@tomrogers5862 Thanks but I'm not referring to just the accuracy based on bore deterioration, rather how durable the barrel is after many lead and copper jackets go through the barrel vs. blanks, causing small cracks or fissures in the bore, which has happened to some guns. Obviously this would be thousands and thousands of rounds to get a clearer result of wear and tear, but just thought would be interesting to know the difference. ;)
@@AutismFamilyChannel Given noncorrosive powders and primers and meticulous cleaning after each project, I can't imagine chemical stress is a significant issue. As to mechanical stress, recoil energy generated by a blank is far less than that by a live round. For a given trigger pull, a live round must put much more overall stress -- mechanical and chemical -- on a firearm than a blank round does.
@@tomrogers5862 Then you raise a good point. Is it fair (based on Hollywood guns that use blanks) to use them as a standard for durability, if they don't have nearly the same stress put on them as live rounds? I hope you know I'm not being argumentative, I'm just interested in this topic is all ;)
"The Ak will go through anything."

Was looking for this comment
Alexander M “ demolition ranch enters chat “
Brandon Herrera enters chat
Facts lol
Yup. Mud 1 / AK 0
Larry is the Dealer at your Dream Gun Shop, especially the way he just casually pulls every firearm you could ever want from under that table 🤣
I'm surprised the Beretta 92FS wasn't on the list. Yes, it is considered iconic in a few movies, but the 92 shows up everywhere.
One gun I would've put on this list is the H&K Mk23, AKA the SOCOM .45
That gun went through one of the roughest durability requirements I've ever heard during its procurement.
Plastic garbage
Wow!!!
This series was fantastic. Larry Z and James R what a combination. Thanks for doing these videos they all rocked. Keep the great stuff coming.
Can we stop with the fallacy that law enforcement is "highly trained" with a firearm. I'd hardly consider 50rd/year highly trained
Agreed. I support our police and there are SOME highly trained professionals but the vast majority are sickeningly bad when it comes to firearms training
Exactly
While it’s not navy seal, it’s more than many people have
Right!?!?
I go through a few hundred everytime I go to the range, which is a few times a month, at the least.
It’s more like 200 Rounds per year, but yea, agree on the hardly consider highly trained.
This has to be my favorite series on TFB. There have been some great ones like Thunder Ranch and I have learned alot from videos like Alex use to make. But this was the best.
I worked in SA doing some anti poaching work. We confiscated an AK that was literally the trigger group, receiver and barrel, everything else looked it had been hand carved and taped onto it (literally duct taped). Worked fine!
Great video, can't believe no one has thought of doing this until now! Thanks TFB and 511!
Really excellent interview. You’re an icon for professional gun owners. Thank you!
Wakes up, watches TFB, stares at Sig P226 : Everyday I love you more ☺️
10:42-10:55 good truth in this statement. my dad (retired Airforce-weapons specialist&marksman) inspected my first AR(used) and deemed it in good condition but VERY dirty (previous owner had put nearly 1000 rounds through it - never cleaned).
He disassembled it and put it back together without any hesitation or confusion. He ran it through a few cycles, I wish I had a picture of the nostalgic/giddy look on his face.
This kind of original content is what I signed up for, good job TFBTV.
Thanks for the interesting perspective and insight, appreciate the work you do!
James, this series was absolutely fantastic, and I would definitely, definitely support seeing more with Larry at ISS. I also think you should team up with the Black Rifle guys and Corridor Digital to do a Shorty-shorts Action Short.
I love my HK SP5 so glad the family gets some love and respect
In Singapore, some of the m16 we used for training were 20, 30 years old by generations of national service conscripts. They get beat up by recruits, crawling through mud, bayonet assault courses and also to qualify at the range.
James, great speaker,well done. Crystal clear information.
Only the Sig surprised me. I have a P220 Sport, which is, by far, my most unreliable gun. It will not shoot defensive ammo.....but it looks cool.
What's defensive ammo? I assume it's and supposed to maim rather than kill?
@@delamovies Defensive ammo is munitions such as JHP (Jacketed Hollow Point), which causes more damage than normal FMJ/ball ammunition. No ammo is truly designed to maim, but hollow point will fuck you up.
They shoot the gun with blanks and the P226 series tied with the Beretta during the XM9 trials.
My dad had a 220 and hated it. One of the few guns he talked trash about
@@delamovies hollow points meant, specifically. It jams regularly on them. But, 230 ball, no issues.
The AK can go through anything.......sand dirt mud rust

It’s less work flawlessly and more get dirty and work once clean
@@harryjoe860 wtf
@@joelerk6298 that's what I'm saying two exact opposite things at the same timeit's very easy to clean but it makes it very dirty and you have to work hard once it's clean I think that's what he means but I don't understand what it means???? I understand the bullets are corrosive so you want to clean when you're done but it's no harder to clean than any other time to speak factsit's easier to clean a corrosive bullet that you shot through your gun than it is to clean a black powder gun or a gun that shot a black powder bullet
@@joelerk6298 we might not want to ask him what he means by it because if you look at the comments I think like 80% of Brandon herrera's commenters are retards that think they're one in the military to a gunsmithwhen really and truly they live in her mom's basement there 30 years old never had a job for a car plus never owned a gun besides their little .177 BB gun lol so they're experts when it comes to guns
@@chriswilliams9871 lol! Old soviet or Russian ammo is corrosive but there are non corrosive options on the market. Btw cleaning black powder guns is easier then people say.
Awesome episode and interesting topic. More like this...humble smart and experienced.
I must say bro. You know the history and layout on these guns. Every informative. Interesting. Never would of thought Hollywood went through a process as such. Awesome video👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
"HOHOHO, Now I've got a machine gun"
Larry's ARs shooting blanks: "Some of the most reliable and durable guns that you have"
My M4 with a MILES gear in 03: "Do what?"
NTC/JRTC memories....lol
Lol so true
M16A2 in 1996 concurs.
Awesome video. Great idea to speak with the movie industry about this topic!
I’m glad to own 4 of the 5 firearms on this list. They really are great guns and it’s good to be reassured of their reliability.
Darn the one question I wanted, when they had the MP5 out: "Can a 200lb guy hang from one of these, a la Die Hard, without bending it?" Because I think the answer is "no" but it's not something I want to test, myself.
3:50, ‘reliability is more important in movies because there are no do-overs like in real life.’ This guy.
Ikr, that was such a stupid thing to say 🙄
Outstandingly done series. Hoorah !
Thanks for a great series.
A: how many blanks we should produce?
Larry: yes.
B: how many blanks you want to use?
Larry: also yes.
Shout to Michael Mann for H.E.A.T.! I remember one military friend of mine who complimented it as the best and most realistic firefight scene in its day.
Love the vids man :))
I have waited 3 years for this thank you
I can't believe he actually said firearm reliability is more important in movies then real life, because you will ruin the shot
Apparently a person’s life isn’t worth as much as the cost of a re-take? I always knew Hollywood was screwed up!
My thought exactly!!!
I bought a HK USP9 in the 90s. I've put well over 100k rounds through it including hundreds of +p and +p+. All of the parts on it are original and it's as reliable as it was 20 years ago. HK all the way for me.
Larry Zanoff is one of my favorite gun guys, most cool, much respect.
James is my fave at TFB TV. Literally the reason I subbed.
That music. So good. Appreciate the uploads *edit* Wait is that a 20mm cannon on the right? I'd say a Vulcan but I'm not very knowledgeable on them.
.308 minigun. They discussed it in one of the other lists. They are beasts and the movie industry loves to rent them from those guys.
@@zurnie that's damn neat
Vulcans are only in fighter jets, so Top Gun has you covered
“it could ruin the scene if the gun jams” uh if your gun jams in a traffic stop that could ruin your whole life lol
Yeah, that part was stupid.
Imagine getting shot by an officer because of a failure to feed.
Agreed! I stopped and ran the video again just to make sure I heard him correctly...
"Reliability is more important on a movie set where a malfunction can ruin a scene! A malfunction in a law enforcement action may only ruin a LEO's life. I mean, come on...priorities!!!" is what I heard.
Did I misunderstand his comment?
Great series! You guys are my favorite UA-cam channel, tied with Nutinfancy and Paul Harrell.
thank you for this video TFB
Who else is combing the comments for Brandon Herrera's comment that no doubt is gonna be cheekier than James' booty?
You know Brandon Herrera is happy.
My AK was made or at least imported in 2002 and 18 years later it's still working just like new.
Great video, thanks!
German quality
*Check engine light wants to know your location
My agency just moved from Glock 22's to Sig P320's... I wish we'd have gone with the H&K MP-5's! LOL!
Our agency had sig 2022 for 12 years went m&p 2.0 in january. And we love it.
@@jamalmckenzie3822 We had 229's and 239's years ago. When we moved to Glocks, we had far fewer breakdowns. I've got my fingers crossed on these P320's. My 229 broke down a couple of times and needed some TLC from one of our armorer's. I was one of our firearms instructors at the time so I attributed my problems to the round count in those five years. However, when we moved to the Glock 22's afterwards, I shot way more rounds and never had a single glitch. Again, fingers crossed for the 320's. Just my personal experience with the two manufacturers over the years, someone else could've had just the opposite.
@@jamalmckenzie3822 Nothing wrong about the sp 2022. I carry it in my rotation off duty.
@@DS..69 oh yeah its a great gun in 9 mil but not in 40. Very easy to conceal. Not in the way doesny get caught on the seatbelt. And fits alot of holster for the 229. Recoil is very minimal.
@@paulsimmons5726 yeah round count and parts breakage is the primary reason why my hometown carries the m&p. Glocks works wonders for depts while the sig 226/229 is a great gun its hammer fired which has more moving parts. I do hope the 320 works out hopefully sig holds up there end of the bargain and you guys master the gun. I remember years ago a big security left beretta because there customer service lied about spare parts being shipped that never came. Then qual day locking blocks and trigger springs were breaking on the range which wasn't a good look for a govt contractor.
Great content guys.
Great vid. Was not surprised at all about the list either..
thanks
Wouldn't be a video with James if there wasn't a glock.
Glicks sukk.
@@jh9981 Nope.
I love Glocks! 😀 I have a G26, the sub compact 9mm, and it is a sweet little shooter! 😎
Funniest thing I've seen on a Gun channel for a long time, even funnier than the gun-clown channels. Movies and reality. A film director knowledgeable about firearms. Live fire in movies. Thanks, man, I needed some humor.
This was useful content. Thanks.
3:27 lol I'm sorry, I know the best of the best are often in military and sometimes LE service, but I've had to help cops figure out how to load their own firearms and I've never been in LE or mil. Some of the most unsafe gun handling I've ever seen has been done by veterans and police. To be fair I've gotten most of my tips knowledge and instruction from LE/mil so the expertise is there but the idea the average person in service who carries a firearm because it's their job is "highly trained" is just wrong. Most cops never had a firearm until they got issued one.
Military members can be God awful with firearm safety. There are just some people on this planet who are incapable of treating a firearm with respect. Constant weapon flagging from Specialists, Officers who put more rounds into clearing barrels than range targets, and one unfortunate moron who pointed a loaded shotgun at my chest (He thought it was unloaded) who's only alive today because his 1 year old daughter was in the room at the time and apparently I cared more about her safety than he did.
The US military truly is an equal sampling of the US population in many things, and one of those things is percentage of morons.
You were never in the military or LE because you couldn’t pass the psychological. You’re probably in your parents basement right now playing with your gun.
@@mikegags9115 Ok.
Just before 9/11, I walked over to the MickyD on base. This base has a special security force for special weapons (I may have given it away;-). I'm in line waiting to order when half a dozen security force folks come in, dump all of their M16A2s on a table without safing them, and walk away and get in line behind me. I would have ducked and run except the weapons were pointed at the main drag through the base and away from the counter.
@@mikegags9115 Why so salty? He's entirely right.

In almost every show or movie you see a Beretta somewhere shows up. And for years and to this day it still is being used by various companies and units.

Outstanding series!
“In a way, the reliability on the movie set has to be higher than it does in real life.” While I am sure he doesn’t mean this, it sounds like he is saying it’s worse to lose a take to an unreliable gun than your life.
My understanding of this comment is that if you have a malfunction with a firearm in real life, you at least have the option to take immediate remedial action, while that is not really an option in a movie scene.
I’m with you here. I cringed on that one.
*cries in shotgun lover*
Scott Booker 🤣
Great video guy
I always enjoy walking through ISS they have the coolest props
I think in a real life gun fight it is more important to have a gun that is reliable.
Take 2 or your dead! What do you think is more important?
Soldiers lives are expendable because the state can afford to pay the cost of insurance.
Yea I dont think Larry knows much either then movies he needs to learn more about reality..
Hahaha. His perma-grin when talking about the Glock.
Great series 👏
Enjoyable video very informative.
