ZQI Ammunition Factory Tour
Ойын-сауық
We head to Turkey to check out the ZQI ammunition manufacturing plant operated by MKE. ZQI ammo has become popular on the US market and has been found in Walmart stores across the nation. Many people had questions about the ammo so we decided to check it out and bring you along. This is the first time a film crew from any nation has been allowed inside MKE and we would like to thank them for the opportunity to tour their facilities.

With a background in manufacturing, I never stop being fascinated by press stamping and extrusion processes. Great "how it's made" vid. Fantastic camera and post work here! I have co-workers in Turkey so enjoyed the familiar accents.
I spent 3 months in Malatya Turkey during my time in the service. Politics aside it was one of my favorite countries I have been too. The people were FANTASTIC and hospitable! The country on its own was absolutely beautiful! And the food was some of the best I have ever had! The country definitely left a great impression on me! ZQI Ammunition I have bought 400 rounds of 7.62 and 180 rounds of 5.56 and I am very eager to try them out! But I hear great things about them! Thanks!!!!
This is the forth ammo factory tour I have seen and the most expressive.
This was awesome!! Thank you! 30 rounds at $9.99 is really nice for the range day!
Thanks for taking us along! I only wish that you hadn't blown the secret. This stuff is hard enough to find without your encouragement ;-)

Would actually like to see more tours like this one.

went there myself as a turkish person im proud lol (not in the actual factory but mke facilities)
This is one of the better ammo factory tours. You could actually hear what was said during the process
The quality of this video is better than most shows on tv! Nice work!
That was the best video I've seen inside an ammo plant
Wow great vid MAC! The production level of this was outstanding! Very interesting to see where all that ammo I shoot comes from too. Love ZQI ammo! Keep up the great work man!
Thanks for putting this video together. I'm sure it was an expensive trip with lots of planning. It was the best version of how its made ever
Next time when you are in the region - you are welkom in Bulgaria. I am pretty sure that Arsenal can provide material for a video or two.

***** I would love to tour the Arsenal factory... I knew we flew right over Bulgaria and I thought about that.
The ammo is top notch especially for the price. I have been shooting a lot of 7.62 lately out of my m14.
Thanks for that, MAC. That was an awesome video!
I've been very happy shooting ZQI ammo. Thanks for the tour!
I LOVE that you have a glass of chai at the end! You even had it in the traditional glass and saucer. I was stationed in Turkey for 15 months and drank a lot of chai, as well as apple tea. I would love to go back some day.
That was amazing! It was very interesting seeing all the steps in making this ammo and the quality checks involved. Great video! Thanks for sharing.
This was one of the best videos I've seen on youtube in quite some time. AWESOME job!

Yeah That's because the monthly minimum wage of an turkish worker is less then 500 Dollars!
That was a very interesting and informative video. Thanks for taking the time to show just how seriously they they take the production of thir ammunition. I'm impressed and reassured that they take the testing and quality control of their ammunition so seriously. Great video Mac.
I'm obsessed with Turkey, and obsessed with firearms. Thank you for making my morning.

Awesome tour, I love watching these kind of vids! I enjoyed meeting you this past Saturday in Nashville, thanks!
Bad ass. This video was worth the wait.
Awesome! I have been shooting the 7.62x51 NATO through my zastava m77 with no fails of any sort! It was always in the back of my mind "is this too good to be true?". You have cleared my concerns about this ammo and for that I thank you! Always great vids.
Very cool and thanks for taking us on the tour. Now to check prices for this ammo as compared to other, US, brands. You Lucky Dog, you!
I love to see how things are manufactured. I'm addicted to factory videos :)
Its awesome to see how that ammo is made and the tests and QA steps it goes through. Ive been shooting it for a while and I have yet to be disappointed.

What a very nice tour. Thanks man
I love ZQI 5.56 ammunition I runs smooth threw my AR very accurate as well when ever I see it I buy it up! Great video keep on target brother
That was sooo cool! Thanks MAC!
Incredible amount of testing, well impressed.
Great video, MAC
Awesome video man their stuff looks high quality.
I love these factory tour videos! Thanks!
As a Turkish I am really sad to be never able to shoot or reach those ammunitions produced in my country. You guys in USA are so lucky to find ammo and guns in malls like Wall Mart. I wish I can visit USA one day and shoot every kind of weapon. Great video, thanks for the tour.

my father was a master sgt on okinawa. the only thing he ssid he found reassuring was the abundance of ammo. he was a farmer and a most excellent rifleman. when i saw you kidding about getting those cases home, i immediately thought of him. thanks for the great tour and that moment. i'm 71 and a farmer. i shoot every other day. god save usa. i'll try some zqi. rgw.
Tim just upped their sales big time. Haha good stuff. I've always wondered about this ammo. Looks like good stuff and I'll be picking up some very soon.
What an interesting tour, thank you. Looks like pretty good stuff. I will try some.
Cool Tour!
Great Video Tim!
Wow you sure get around, you have a great channel and i enjoy watching it. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the video MAC-very interesting.
THAT was fascinating! Thanks a lot for this video.
That was really interesting. From just watching the video, I'm pretty impressed with their manufacturing standards, quality assurance, and general cleanliness and professionalism. Was that kind of your take as well?

Great factory tour !!
Really neat insight Mac. Thanks.
Thank you! I will have to test this ammo
Wow thanks MAC, being in quality control myself that is impressive. Nice to see what goes into that affordable ammunition I've been seeing at Walmart.

Great video, I always stayed away from this stuff but now after watching this I'll give it a try
I always enjoy watching the MAC. Another awesome video very informative
Love the tours. Ty.
Awesome! Great video idea. I've always wanted to visit foreign manufacturers of firearms and ammunition...maybe I'll be able to someday, but thanks for taking me there today!
I shoot the 7.62x51 ammo by ZQI in my bolt .308 and love it. Cheap, reliable, and fairly consistent.
Great tour video. Thanks
enjoyed the tour.
Great video!!
Hi Tim I've been watching your channel for a long time. You're one of the people who has inspired me to create my own youtube channel. I know your success did not come over night, it's amazing how your channel opened doors for you attending different events and traveling to very interesting places, etc. Keep up the good work Tim.

A very professionally done video! Kudos!
awesome video. definitely makes me feel batter about ZQI ammo. haven't ever had problems, but that worry was always in the back of the mind.
Welp, time to buy more ZQI before its all gone. Good work MAC!
Very nice vid, ZQI ammo seems to be better than I first thought. Thanks for the info.
Brilliant interesting segment thanks for your time and efforts.
i can't stop watching this vid.thanks a lot,rudy
Thank you mate for this video! Really interesting to watch !
I have used their ammo for a few months now. Their 7.62x51 and their 5.56 NATO just for plinking and fun shooting. Works great and the prices have always been good. The Walmart had the 7.62x51mm priced at 10 bucks a box of 20. And through the M855 rush, it was always available at my local Walmart, and still is. 10 bucks a box of 30. For those prices, and the quality I have experienced with it, its great ammo to have and play with. Great video. These tours and insider looks at how products are made are always interesting.
Lol at 3:16 the people in the background are like "IS HE TOUCHING METAL THAT WAS JUST IN ACID!?"
I have shot thousands of rounds of ZQI 7.62 nato with no issues. Great ammo Thanks for the great video Tim.
great vid mac.i'd love to take a tour like that.thanks,rudy
Excellent video!
What a great opportunity...... very interesting to see the process and thanks for sharing! I would like to see more videos like this...?
Awesome video!
Enjoying these factory tours. Reminds me of the shoe How it's Made. Love that show.
Great tour....I have a bunch of this ammo and like it so far....
i really, really enjoyed this!
I've recently been using their ammo and like it, I have used 9mm but have not got to use any of the 5.56 yet, will be trying some out as soon as I can get my hands on it! Awesome video! Very cool seen how it's made and quality control for the ZQI ammunition
I've used this ammo since I purchased my Windam Weaponry AR 15. And this stuff is great. Very accurate and reliable. A great value when you can find it. $9.99 a box at my local Walmart.
Love these clips
Good video man!
accurate ammo, good price, great video.
What an interesting video! I've always wanted to see how ammunition is loaded in a factory. Thanks for making this.
Amazing video!!!
Super impressive video. Very informative I want pick some up soon try it out. Thanks
I miss this at $7 a box/.308 at Wal-Mart. Havent seen it in a while. Always shot good at the range
That place looks more clean than our Lake City facility! I'm real impressed with how ZQI makes ammunition.
Great Tour
Awsome factory tour. Thanks so much for giving us that inside view. I really wish we could have that type of tour in the U.S.
Very impressive manufacturing process. Excellent video! I am impressed at the number of quality checks they preform. I have been shooting this ammo because it is good quality and priced right.
Great video, guys. Thanks for doing it!
