All hail the snub-nosed Browning M2 .50 cal (VIDEO)
Sure, it has a muzzle blast that looks as if it releases souls every time it fires, but you have to admit, this shorty .50 cal is a great “because we can” gun.
Dropped on the interwebs this week by Hickok45 and son, the Ma Deuce shown in action has a barrel (slightly) shorter than the standard 45-inches which probably translates into dumping a lot of fps out the muzzle, but its likely still effective at close range.

Breaking in the Faxon ARAK-21 XRS on armor (VIDEO)
Down on the Demo Ranch, they have a groovy new ARAK-21 and a pile of SAPI plates. Do you see where this is going?
A multi-caliber system you can set up in either 7.62×39 or 5.56/300 BLK with quick-changing barrels/bolts that have multiple profiles, the ARAK-21 is a gas-piston platform that is pretty sweet. Its guts seem kinda AK, kinda AR and kinda HK all at once.
Matt and the D/R crew decide to clock in with a 5.56mm variant of the ARAK and chose to give a Level IV AR500 ceramic hard plate a workout.
Remember, “armor proof” is in the eye of the beholder– especially when they (spoiler alert) swap calibers out.
