The video opens at IWA 2024 in Nuremberg, where the host explains they have just come from the law-enforcement-focused Enforce TAC and are now at the larger public show, often described as the European version of SHOT Show. At the Tenk Arms booth, they reconnect with Peter, whom they interviewed the previous year about the Perun X16 in 5.56. The host notes that the X16 won Classic Firearms’ internal “rifle of the show” ranking thanks to its hybrid operating system and overall execution. Peter jokes that he hasn’t gotten slimmer since last year but has brought a new product: the Perun X17 in .308. He describes the X17 as the organic evolution of the X16, built to address long-standing complaints about AR-10 style rifles. He compares living with an AR-10 to living with a spouse—full of compromises—and says they set out to fix those compromises. The X17 keeps compatibility with standard AR-10 lowers, magazines, drop-in triggers, safeties, and other common parts, but adds a rear-mounted, non-reciprocating, ambidextrous charging handle placed where the shooter naturally wants it. The handle can be swapped from one side to the other for left- or right-handed users. The rifle also incorporates a folding stock interface similar to SCAR/ACR-style setups, solving the usual lack of folding-stock capability on AR-10 platforms. Multiple upper lengths are offered so users can mount accessories like DBAL lasers or other devices without interfering with optics. A proprietary short-stroke gas system drives the action while venting roughly 95% of the gas forward under the handguard, keeping the AR-10 bolt and firing pin area much cleaner and reducing gas blowback to the shooter.
Staying at the Tenk Arms booth, the discussion shifts to the Perun X7 and its hybrid direct-impingement/short-stroke piston system. Peter explains that, like the X16, the X7 is designed to vent the vast majority of combustion gases in front of the handguard, dramatically cutting down on fouling in the receiver and bolt group. He emphasizes that the platform maintains extensive AR-pattern parts compatibility, including the bolt, firing pin, barrel, and barrel nut, which makes it attractive to both civilian shooters and professional end users who want familiar components and easy maintenance. Peter mentions growing interest from government and potential military clients in Slovenia, citing strong reliability feedback from the 5.56 X16. Planned upgrades include a more intuitive adjustable gas system with a clear visual cutout so shooters can quickly switch between suppressed and unsuppressed settings. The video then transitions to the Grand Power booth, where the new LP24 9mm pistol is introduced. The LP24 is a slim, optics-ready, long-slide, striker-fired handgun using a traditional Browning tilting-barrel lockup and a proprietary trigger system. Despite its unique internals, it conveniently accepts Glock 17 magazines. Features include aggressive front and rear slide serrations, competition-style sights, and an accessory rail for lights or lasers. The pistol ships with four optics plates covering popular footprints such as Vortex, Shield RMS, and Trijicon RMR, allowing users to mount a wide range of red dots without custom machining.
The host and Grand Power representative expand on the LP24’s details, emphasizing its slim slide profile, deep front and rear serrations for easy manipulation, and a dust-cover rail for mounting weapon lights or lasers. The trigger is described as crisp, breaking close to 90 degrees with a short, tactile reset suitable for both defensive and competition use. Controls include an ambidextrous slide stop and a reversible magazine release, making the pistol friendly to left- and right-handed shooters. The LP24 is currently at the ATF tech branch for evaluation, with serial production targeted for late summer 2024. Attention then shifts to the Grand Power ARAK 47, a hybrid rifle that blends AR modularity with AK-pattern magazine compatibility. Chambered in 7.62x39, it uses a short-stroke piston system and is built on a .308-sized AR receiver set with a robust bolt and carrier for stronger locking lugs while still keeping weight manageable. The representative demonstrates smooth charging and traditional AK-style magazine insertion, while the fire control group uses a mil-spec style AR trigger that can be swapped for any aftermarket AR trigger. The rifle includes an ambidextrous safety, AR-compatible pistol grip, mil-spec buffer tube, and a quick-detach M-LOK handguard that allows fast access to the piston and gas block for cleaning or adjustment. Future production guns are planned to feature adjustable gas settings, though firm U.S. import timelines are not yet confirmed.
Grand Power representatives explain that the ARAK 47 platform is currently offered in a pistol-style configuration in their home market and other regions. They encourage viewers to comment if they want to see it brought into the United States, saying they will use that feedback to gauge demand. A tentative European retail price of about €1,600 including VAT is mentioned, with the caveat that it is an early estimate and subject to change. At present, the rifle is chambered only in 7.62x39; while 5.45x39 is acknowledged as interesting, they note that ammunition availability makes it impractical for now. The design is aimed at export markets where countries have large stocks of 7.62x39 ammunition and AK magazines but aging AK-pattern rifles, and they hint at potential future military contracts once the system has more field time. The scene then moves to Victrix Armaments, where Danielle introduces the Italian company’s focus on precision bolt-action rifles. She presents their largest model, the Corvo V in .50 BMG, describing it as an anti-materiel platform developed to meet stringent military requirements. Key features include the V-series buttstock with an easily adjustable cheek piece, length-of-pull adjustments, and internal storage compartments for inserts and tools used to fine-tune the rifle in the field.
The Corvo V .50 BMG rifle is examined in detail. Its V-series buttstock offers tool-less cheek height adjustment, a removable cheek piece, and internal storage for bits, spacers, or small accessories. An integrated quick-adjust monopod at the rear aids in fine elevation control when shooting from prone or supported positions. A robust side-folding mechanism allows the stock to fold for easier transport and simplifies barrel cleaning. The rifle uses a U.S.-made AR-standard Ergo grip for familiar ergonomics and a large two-stage trigger tuned specifically for .50 BMG, with pull weight around 1.2–1.3 kg (approximately 2.5–3 lb) and adjustability for both weight and length of pull. The stainless steel action and bolt feature a PVD-coated firing pin for smooth cycling and corrosion resistance, along with a large bolt body, double ejectors, and a single extractor for reliable case ejection. Feeding is from a 5-round single-stack polymer magazine. A multi-purpose carry handle on top doubles as a helicopter sling point, tripod interface, and extra Picatinny mounting surface for accessories. The rifle sports a 28-inch barrel, M-LOK slots along the forend, and a canted Picatinny scope rail to maximize elevation adjustment for extreme long-range shooting. Victrix offers a large direct-thread .50 BMG suppressor claiming about 46 dB reduction and hearing-safe performance, priced around €2,000, while the rifle package itself includes the carry handle and in-house bipod.
Pricing and availability for the Corvo V are clarified, with the .50 caliber rifle, carry handle, and in-house bipod priced around €9,000 before VAT, excluding suppressor and optics. It is confirmed to be available in the United States through a company based in Tennessee that handles import and sales. The spotlight then shifts to the Scorpio V .338, which shares the same V-series buttstock and folding system but uses a smaller long-action chassis. It features a two-stage 1 kg trigger, stainless steel bolt, action, and barrel, an in-house polymer magazine, an integrated 20 MOA Picatinny rail, M-LOK fore-end, proprietary bipod, and a muzzle brake. Victrix claims extreme precision, citing roughly 0.23 MOA (about quarter-MOA) accuracy for the .338, while the .50 BMG remains sub-MOA despite the round’s inherent limitations. The .338’s price is around €6,000 before taxes and it is also available in the U.S. Finally, the new 2024 ORB Small Bore .22 LR ELR rifle is introduced, featuring a fully adjustable sporter-style buttstock with cheekpiece, length-of-pull adjustment, and a 3° adjustable rear bag rider. Its folding system is mainly for transport and cleaning, and the .308-footprint chassis allows easy swapping between .22 LR and .308 actions. A stainless, PVD-coated .22 bolt is used for smooth operation and durability in high-round-count rimfire competition.
The Victrix .22 LR bolt-action chassis rifle is shown in greater detail. It uses a stainless steel PVD-coated bolt and a 10-round in-house magazine, with an AR-standard grip for familiar ergonomics. The single-stage trigger is extremely light at about 200 g, aimed squarely at precision rimfire competition and extended long-range practice. The modular chassis incorporates M-LOK, Arca, and Anschütz-style rails, plus movable and extendable fore-end rail sections to fine-tune balance and accessory placement for bipods, tripods, and weights. A heavy barrel with an M18x1 threaded muzzle supports brakes or suppressors. Victrix emphasizes very tight CNC machining tolerances and quotes a price around €3,400, with U.S. availability expected a few months after orders are placed by retailers. The video then transitions to the TTI Canik Combat pistol, a collaboration between Canik and Taran Tactical Innovations. This 9mm pistol features a spiral-fluted barrel, a very light and smooth trigger, a fiber optic front sight, and a tool-less removable compensator. Additional upgrades include a flared magwell, aggressive grip texturing, and refined serrated rear sights. After nearly two years of development, it is slated for release around May, in large quantities, at well under $1,000, bundled with a presentation box, holster, and commemorative coin signed by Taran Butler.
At the Canik/TTI booth, the tone turns playful with an airsoft shooting challenge between the host and nine-time Grandmaster Taran Butler. Using airsoft pistols to shoot at a glass target on a simulator, they trade jokes about predicted scores, with numbers ranging from the 90s down to the 50s and even a humorous negative score. Malfunctions, accidental hits on a female target, and repeated restarts add to the banter. Ultimately, Butler dominates the competition, and the host concedes defeat while emphasizing how useful and fun the airsoft setup is for practice and skill building. Viewers are invited to visit the Canik TTI booth at noon to receive coins and meet the team. The scene then shifts to an interview with Memed, who introduces the X Power Hermox, a 2011-platform double-stack pistol that uniquely uses 17-round Glock magazines. It features a full aluminum grip, 1911-compatible parts and sights, a patented internal design, and a very light slide engineered for faster sight recovery. The trigger is highlighted for its extremely short 0.5 mm reset, aimed at rapid follow-up shots and competition-level performance.
The Hermox X Power pistol receives a closer technical overview. It is a double-stack 1911/2011-style handgun feeding from 17-round Glock magazines, combining familiar 1911 ergonomics with widely available mags. The slide is heavily lightened with extensive cuts to reduce reciprocating mass, and an integrated flared magwell speeds reloads. Safety features include a grip safety and external thumb safety, with 1911-compatible sights for easy aftermarket upgrades. The trigger has minimal take-up, an exceptionally short 0.5 mm reset, and a pull weight around 2.2 lb, using a steel monolock trigger design. A one-piece milled frame is intended to enhance accuracy, and interchangeable grip panels plus a curved trigger option allow user customization. The slide is cut for a red dot and ships with two adapter plates for popular optics footprints. The company is targeting a sub-$1,000 U.S. price once live-fire testing is complete. The host then discovers the Vermach X Rotary, a novel two-barrel .32 caliber firearm. It uses a pull-back-and-rotate mechanism to remove and reinstall the barrel assembly, has two separate triggers to fire each barrel independently, and a safety that blocks both triggers when engaged. The team expresses interest in seeing it eventually brought into the U.S. market after further refinement.
The Vermach X Rotary prototype is briefly demonstrated, focusing on its unusual double-trigger layout and safety system. Engaging the safety locks both triggers, preventing discharge, and the pull-back-and-rotate action allows quick barrel assembly removal for transport or maintenance. The hosts note that Century is expected to bring the firearm to the U.S. after additional development and testing. The video then moves to the Simway hunting simulator area, where a head-to-head training system uses replica rifles with functioning triggers and Aimpoint Acro P2 optics to shoot at a large screen instead of live animals. The hosts compete in multiple simulated hunting rounds, tracking moving game targets while avoiding no-shoots. Scores, penalties, and missed shots become a source of constant joking, and they place a bet involving push-ups for the loser. A rematch follows, with playful arguments over the push-up count and performance. Additional participants, including the cameraman, take turns on the simulator, while the group comments on each person’s hits, misses, and overall marksmanship in the virtual environment.
After wrapping up the simulator games, the hosts return to the Bull Armory booth. Ben from Bull Armory introduces the new patent-pending BO (Bul Optics) mounting system. It uses a stabilizing post that takes mechanical load off the optic screws, allowing an ultra-low slide cut and very thin aluminum plates while preserving durability. The system is designed so that standard screws supplied by major optics makers like Holosun, Trijicon, and Leupold DeltaPoint can be used without special hardware. A removable rear adjustable sight plate lets users quickly swap between an optic and low-profile iron sights, catering to both competition and carry roles. Ben then showcases updated pistols, including a refreshed Ultralite with a redesigned slide and barrel, more aggressive grip module, CCW-oriented magwell, and black small parts. The Ultralite Pro variant adds porting (V6 configuration) for recoil mitigation and flatter shooting. The EDC model is presented as a Glock 17–sized full-size pistol with a 4.25-inch match-grade bull barrel, flash cut, and crown, intended to bridge concealment, defense, and competition use.
The final segment details several BUL Armory lines. The EDC is an aluminum-frame, Glock 17-sized carry gun with a 4.25-inch match-grade bull barrel, flash cut and crown, and 18+1 capacity. The longer EDC Pro adds a V8 ported barrel for flatter shooting and faster follow-up shots. New TAC models feature stainless steel frames with full-length dust covers and Picatinny rail sections, sharing furniture with the EDC. Offered in 4.25-inch and 5-inch configurations, the TAC line is positioned to cover self-defense, duty, competition, and nightstand roles, with Pro versions also using V8 ported barrels. Magazine counts are generous: Ultralite and EDC pistols ship with three magazines, while TAC models include four. MSRPs are outlined as about $1,750 for the Ultralite (plus $200 for ported), $1,850 for the EDC (plus $200 for ported), and $2,250 for the TAC (plus $200 for ported). The host praises the TAC’s smooth slide, grip texture, magwell geometry, and short, crisp trigger and reset. Ben notes that U.S. shipments are targeted for Q2, with production capacity constrained by events in Israel but with a strong emphasis on maintaining quality and consistency for the American market.
