It is completely legal for most US citizens to design and manufacture their own weapon. However, if you are not properly licensed, and maybe even a military contractor, you cannot make something that violates federal law. For example you cannot manufacture an automatic weapon. But, I believe Herrera is licensed to do these things and might even be licensed to sell his weapons like an FFL. Obviously im sure this depends on the state you live in, and you can even go to school to learn about gun manufacturing if it is something someone is interested in and wants to make weapons for a living.

Seriously cool guy. Garand Thumb: also does reviews on weapons like Brandon, but more relevant in recent history. Very comprehensive. Kentucky Ballistics: Scott loves guns with big recoil, and has some insane historical pieces. Almost died from an exploding 50BMG. Hates Eggplants and watermelons. Really fun and has slightly n silly Mighty Boosh style content. Taoflodermaus: Ever wondered what you could fire out of a shotgun? These boys have you covered. Taking random machinists submisions, sticking it in a 12 gauge and seeing how it performs. If Officer Greg is on the show, you know it's gonna be a good time!

Ronnie Barrett (the original Barrett 50 cal designer) made the rifle for non-military use. But the military adopted it as an anti-material rifle, many people mistake it for a sniper rifle because it can and is used for long range. But as an anti-material rifle, it's intended to defeat some light armor, and also for disabling enemy equipment and vehicles. Such as destroying car engine blocks, destroying plane engines, shooting helicopters, destroying radar dishes, and many other such use cases. It's not meant to be a precision rifle, but people have used it as such.

The reason that he did not feel as much recoil is the muzzle brake on the front. It vents the gasses back and to the sides, pushing the gun forwards to compensate for the recoil. The AK50 and Barrett have them as well.

I mean, all of these things like the sawed off 50 is just for giggles and for videos. These guys are pretty smart.

More modern AKs actually do have that hinge on the bolt and piston as well.

Fun fact while Brandon was making the ak 50 he is also campaigning to be a U.S. Congressmen.

Brandon didn't make that 50 Bmg pistol he just bought it. The company that makes it is Noreen Firearms.

Everything, the group of 14 guntubers do is documented and add to information used to design other weapons and parts for weapons that don't have replacement parts made for anymore. Brandon has been a gun builder and designer 8 plus years. He's licensed 100%

Just so you know, brandon herrera is also a licensed gun manufacturer. Its definitely a good idea to watch him do a break down of the ak50 aswell 👍

And yes all of DMs videos start with this sort of elaborate funny setup...

As a mechanical engineer with a ‘tism for guns, I can tell you that Brandon and his team did a LOT of design work on the V3 (the one you’re seeing) when it comes to the math and physics behind making this thing function with any sort of reliability. They definitely need to work in proper gassing and weight and all that, but I could go through every detail of this thing and tell you what it is and why they made the decisions they did on each design piece. I’ve been following his progress since just after he announced it (when I found his channel) and the effort and money put into this thing versus what he got out at this point is quite remarkable. His team for the most part has been him, a local gun smith, and like 2 other guys that work in the machine shop with him. Besides Brass Valley which was a short term internship thing he did to hire some guys who didn’t have degrees or anything but allowed them to get something on their resume in the gun industry space. It’s all super cool if you care to look into it either on the channel or off and just look back at his AK50 project updates and version testing. And yes, you can legally manufacture firearms as long as you’re legally allowed to own them, without any sort of license. If you plan to SELL them, then they need to get a serial number and you have to get the proper paperwork for that done and you might also need to be an FFL, but I’m not 100% on that last part.

I live in the same town. He bought an abandoned resort nearby and is renovating it on his other channel, Matt Carriker. The aerial shot with all the cars was from their range day. The following week a guy that lives near the resort came into my work and was complaining about it sounding like WW3. He was not a happy camper lol.

my friend Brandon Herrera is a gunsmith. licensed and all, every weak spot you think there is, he has it written down already and is testing it or has already fixed it basically brother

Brandon is a gun manufacturer with a license to make and also sell firearms. He can also make fully automatic weapons. But any US citizen has the right to make their own weapons (as long as they don’t sell them) if you want to make and sell you need a license. But you can make a weapon for yourself. Well nowadays that’s kind of been restricted in certain states, but historically normal citizens have always had the right to make their own guns.

Glad I got the notification for this upload! Btw, are we ever going to see Brandon Herrera's Darwin Awards playlist make an appearence?

The Barrett M-82 is long recoil operated, just like the Browning .30 and .50 caliber machineguns and the Browning Auto-5 shotgun. When you fire a long recoil gun, the bolt and barrel are locked together and they both go back together a certain distance, then the barrel is released and goes forward while the bolt continues to go rearward. The casing is ejected, the bolt resets the hammer, the action spring pushes the bolt forward, the bolt picks up a fresh round and chambers it. The hammer is held by a disconnector until the bolt is in place, then the hammer is held in place by the trigger sear. Full auto guns release the hammer when the disconnector is released when the bolt locks closed to keep the round from going off prematurely, when the action is open, which could destroy the gun and injure the shooter. The trigger sear catches the hammer when the trigger is released by the shooter in a full auto gun. Because the barrel moves, accuracy suffers a bit, but a trained shooter is still able to make head shots with the Barrett M-82 up to a mile away on paper targets or steel silhouettes. The AK, which was copied or "inspired" by the US M-1 Garand, is a long piston gas operated gun. The piston is attached to a long operating rod attached to the bolt. When you fire an AK, M-1 Garand, M-14, or any number of other long piston guns, the bullet passes by a hole drilled into the barrel called a gas port. Some of the gases from the barrel are bled into a gas tube. The piston (shaped just like a car engine's piston) captures the gases, which push the piston and attached operating rod (aka op-rod). The operating rod is attached to the bolt, which also gets pushed back. The bolt extracts the casing and ejects it and the hammer is reset and held by a disconnector. The operating spring pushes the bolt back, a fresh cartridge is chambered. When the bolt closes the disconnector releases the hammer, which is held by the trigger sear in a semi-automatic gun. In a full auto gun, the disconnector releases the hammer when the bolt closes, firing another round automatically. The Ak has a skinny barrel compared to the M-1 Garand or M-14 or the AK-50. The action often makes the barrel wobble, causing the AK to be significantly less accurate than other rifles at long range, but the Soviets designed it as a submachinegun instead of a rifle at first. Accuracy through volume. :) The L85 and H&K's M416 uses versions of short piston gas operation, while the AR-15/M-16/M-4 uses a totally different system called gas impingement which uses gases to blow directly on the bolt and bolt carrier, increasing the accuracy because there's nothing shifting around the barrel to cause instability.

My son's most proud moment was his first time to vote at 19 he was mad Brandon wasn't in our district. lol. But at 19 I'm proud that he is involved in politics and gun safety, construction, and maintenance. He owns a Mouser collection at 19. Keep em off the phone and in the wild. It works out.

I do recommend you watch Brandon's AK50 video since he goes more into how it started and all.

Zach, the guy with the long beard, is the lead gunsmith at Brandon Herrera's firearm manufacturing business in San Antonio TX.

Demo Ranch may be one of the few Oldest gun tuber channels in existence

In the intro sketch he looks exactly like Red from Red Dead Revolver

Demolition Ranch is actually quite safe, and he and his friend group take safety extremely seriously, especially after the Kentucky Ballistics accident. The video with the cut down rifle was from one where they started off with a normal sized one then experimentally cut it down in increments to see how that affected the ballistics. Also the pistol is not made by Brandon but rather owned by him and the barrel cover on the front of the AK-50 is made of aluminum ,and meant as a m-lock attachment point for the bipod and other accessories.

Brandon has a whole series on him designing and building the AK-50. He's also running for Congress today in a run off against the current senator in his area of Texas. He actually just released a new video this morning on the Mp44 or storm.

Brandon's build video is now a must.

I think you would enjoy the release video for the AK-50. some of the highest Production value I have seen from a guntuber

If you got the gunsmith training and atf paperwork you're set to make stuff it's just expensive on every level. Brandon's going to be a nightmare for the gun grabbers in congress. Giving Kentucky Ballistics a watch is a good idea too if you love insanely powerful guns.

If you want breakdowns on different guns, Grandthumb and Brandon Herrera are the best if you wanna watch crazy big guns, Kentucky ballistics and if you wanna watch insanity demolition Ranch. But you’ll get a little bit of everything on each channel.

Oh I been watching Matt on demo ranch since basically the beginning, like 6 months after he started his channel, I found it, is always great times. Highly entertaining, you really should watch his stuff, he bought an abandoned resort, now it’s like massive gun ranges on it, he’s shot tanks, with a company in Texas. He’s bout an abandoned mansion, all kinds of stuff. Plus all the crazy gun stuff he does, oh by the way he made bunker branding, and does stuff with BRCC and others.

Finally a DemolitionRanch video! just to break it down: he is Matt Carriker, a veterinary, youtuber (Demolitionranch and Matt Carriker channels, also VetRanch for some time) who just have fun with guns and tell a little about them. Also bought and restored an abandoned mansion, then an abandon resort that happens to have underground caves in the property and is making one of the biggest gun range in Texas inside his resort Desperado Resort. He also have fun with unique cars from time to time. When you think of 'Murica, he is one of the top on the list.

This range that they're at, Matt lives on a plateau. He literally owns like 80% of the plateau, and this is a canyon of the plateau. He's shooting at Rock solid Rock. Worst gun related injury on demolition ranch, bruised wrist.

With both of them, the muzzle break on the barrel actually takes a lot of the recoil out by jetting the gasses back towards the shooter and basically acting like a retro rocket against recoil

Brandon Herrera is a gun Smith with his own company and this was a dream project for him

Hey man just for some info, brandon has been making guns since he was preaty young and has quite a few videos about making guns that the fans ask him to make. You should really react to some of his vidoes beacuse its super interesting to see how he makes them

"I think it is an intellectual break down of a 50 cal" goes on to watch demolitian ranch... yeah, they have a special intellect

It is indeed a "separate metal" and it was a PITA for AK Daddy to get manufactured. He has another one to weigh down paper.

Should have reacted to Brandon's video... this beast is a labor of love and the purpose is "because I wanted to see if it could be done". The other purpose... "'Merica!!!" Look at the series of videos over the past 8 years showing the development of this incredible feat of engineering. And, we are hopeful, the creator of this beast will go to Congress to represent the people in government!

Matt is also a very talented veterinarian and weapon design collaborator (see the pistol he uses in the intro). Weapons built just for fun are often the BEST kinds of weapons!! He shot a tank too!!😉

50BMG isn’t used as a sniper round. It’s used as an Anti-Material cartridge. So it’s really practical as support.

The hinged piston actually has direct precedent from a genuine Kalashnikov design (The PKM machine gun, which is a well-respected design just like the AK rifle), so it was a safe choice and doesn’t really cause issues.

Well, the reason you would use the .50 BMG as a sniper rifle is for hitting targets at long ranges since it can shoot over 1.5 miles. It is also used to shoot thru material (walls, cars, etc.) to take out people, and to take out armored vehicles at long range.

I've watched a few of vids bro but if you start reacting the the best guntubers on the planet, you get my sub!

You should definitely watch Brandon's mini documentary on its creation! And he's hilarious 😁

"He wouldnt have uploaded the video if he was blown away *kentucky ballistics* Hold my bear XD

10:38 fun fact that hinging gas piston is actually taken from the other Kalashnikov gun the PKM which fires a more powerful round so it seems to be just as strong and eases in the removal of the bolt carrier group.

"he wouldn't post it if he wasn't okay" Laughs in Kentucky Ballistics.

That's because the Barrett 50 Cal rifle was originally designed and intended for materials. And penetration, not as a sniper rifle, its original use was for small unarmored. Vehicles such as to take out the motor or the necessity to punch through a wall in order to meet your target. The fact was turned into a sniper. Rifle is nonetheless very cool. And you may say that it is unnecessary, but when a target doesn't just drop but disintegrates. You can't argue. The cool factor is unbeatable, not to mention. When your target is standing behind a wall, small caliber is rendered obsolete. Yet the barret, fifty cal sniper rifle Is more than capable of punching through a wall And still being 100% effective, in fact, there is a case of a Canadian sniper that was Witnessed using a Barret 50 kale sniper rifle to punch through an enemy stronghold wall. Which resulted in the elimination of 2 standing targets with a single shot. Both confirmed kills of high priority targets. The same shot has been done by American. Snipers. A necessity for such a weapon may not always be prevalent, but it is very much. A useful tool in a military Arsenal. When you want to reach out and touch someone. And there's a wall in your way. A lightly plated vehicle door or an engine block the Barret 50 cal Sniper rifle Will get the job done And will leave no Question as to whether or not your target has been eliminated More often due to the splatter. Or. Chunky mass left on the wall. Not you mention the facial expressions of those standing in the vicinity Which is usually one of complete and utter. Terror horror or disbelief As to what just occurred😂 And on a side note, A sniper from the vietnam war was credited with using a ma duce 50 as a Sniper rifle, I've included a link. It's a pretty cool story www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=www.military.com/marine-corps-birthday/carlos-hathcock-famous-marine-corps-sniper.html&ved=2ahUKEwjGqL-EzrSGAxUCHjQIHWTUAeMQFnoECDEQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2M1fiRNYC4CUVeK3N5Ho1c

In most states it is legal to make your own guns. There are restrictions just as with store purchased ones but they recently ruled on allowing 3D printed ones too.

You need to watch some of Matt's older stuff, Microwave Mondays were classic and he used to shoot custom shotgun shells.

from what I know the .50 cal rifles aren't really used for sniping, but more as an Anti Material rifle: disabling vehicles, shooting through cover, stuff like that.
