The video opens at IWA 2024 in Nuremberg, Germany. The hosts explain they have just come from Enforce TAC, which focused on law enforcement and military gear, and are now at the larger, more civilian-oriented show often described as the European SHOT Show. They head straight to Tink Arms to meet Peter again, whom they interviewed the previous year about the X16 Perun rifle. The host notes that the X16 had been their personal pick for rifle of the show because of its innovative hybrid operating system. Peter jokes that he hasn’t gotten any slimmer since last year but does have a new product to show: the X17, an evolution of the X16, now chambered in .308. He describes the X17 as a natural development of the earlier rifle, aimed at solving long-standing shortcomings of AR-10 style platforms. One major improvement is the ability to use a folding stock, something typically missing on AR-10s. Another is a more ergonomic charging handle placed where the shooter naturally wants it. The handle is ambidextrous, non-reciprocating, and can be swapped from one side to the other simply by pinning it in place, making it suitable for both right- and left-handed shooters. Peter then begins to address gas-management issues inherent to traditional Stoner-style direct impingement systems, setting up an explanation of their hybrid gas and inertia-driven operating concept that keeps fouling and gas blowback away from the shooter while maintaining compatibility with common AR-10 components.
The focus shifts to the Perun X7, which uses the same hybrid direct-impingement and short-stroke piston concept. The hosts emphasize that roughly 95% of gas is vented forward under the handguard, keeping the action clean and reliable, especially with suppressors. The rifle is built around AR-10 compatibility, using standard AR-10 bolts, firing pins, barrels, and barrel nuts so replacement parts and accessories are easy to source. Assembly is described as a simple rock-in process. They reference strong user and YouTube feedback on the Perun X16 and expect similar reliability from the X7, mentioning potential Slovenian government interest and future professional or military applications. Plans include adding a cutout to make the adjustable gas system easier to set for suppressed or unsuppressed use. Attention then turns to the Grand Power LP24, a new slim, optics-ready, long-slide 9mm pistol. It uses a traditional Browning tilting-barrel lockup, a proprietary striker-fired trigger, Glock 17-compatible 17-round magazines, aggressive front and rear slide serrations, and ships with four optics plates covering popular footprints like Vortex, Shield RMS, and Trijicon RMR.
The LP24 pistol is shown in more detail, highlighting its slim profile, accessory rail, and diamond-pattern grip texturing for control. Controls include an ambidextrous slide stop and a reversible magazine release. The trigger is demonstrated with a defined wall, a clean 90-degree break, and a short, tactile reset. Grand Power expects ATF tech branch approval and aims for serial production by late summer 2024, with a compact version also planned. The video then introduces the Grand Power ARAK 47, a short-stroke piston 7.62x39 rifle that blends AR modularity with AK magazine compatibility. Built on a .308 AR receiver, bolt, and carrier, it offers stronger locking lugs and durability. The host notes its surprisingly light weight, smooth bolt operation, and robust charging handle. AK magazines rock in easily, while the fire control group uses a mil-spec-style AR trigger that can be swapped for any AR pattern unit. The rifle features ambidextrous safety controls, a quick-detach M-LOK handguard for fast access to the piston and adjustable gas block, AR pistol grip compatibility, a mil-spec buffer tube, and a removable muzzle brake, though there are currently no firm plans for U.S. import.
Grand Power representatives encourage viewers to comment if they want the new 7.62x39 platform, currently available in a pistol configuration that could accept a brace, imported into the United States. They mention a tentative European retail price around €1,600 including VAT, while noting U.S. pricing would differ. The rifle is presently chambered only in 7.62x39; 5.45x39 is discussed as desirable but impractical due to ammunition availability. The design targets export markets where countries have large stockpiles of 7.62x39 ammunition and AK magazines but aging AK rifles. The company hints at potential military contracts now that the system is being introduced. The scene then transitions to Victrix Armaments, an Italian precision rifle manufacturer. They present the Corvo V, a .50 BMG anti-materiel rifle reportedly developed to meet Italian military requirements. The overview begins with the V-series buttstock, featuring a lever-adjustable cheek piece and internal storage compartments for inserts, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of this purpose-built .50 BMG platform.
Victrix dives into the Corvo V .50 BMG’s V-series buttstock, which offers an easily adjustable and removable cheek piece plus internal storage for tools or inserts. An integrated monopod provides both coarse and micro elevation adjustment, and a robust side-folding mechanism aids transport and barrel cleaning. The rifle uses an AR-standard Ergo grip from the U.S. and a large two-stage trigger tuned for .50 BMG, set around 1.2–1.3 kg (about 2.5–3 lb) with adjustable weight and length of pull. Its stainless steel action and bolt incorporate a PVD-coated firing pin, double ejector, and single extractor for smooth, reliable operation. Feeding comes from a five-round single-stack polymer magazine. A distinctive carry handle doubles as an attachment point for helicopter stabilization cables, quick-mount Picatinny interfaces, tripod mounting, and extra bit storage. The rifle includes M-LOK slots, a Picatinny rail with significant MOA cant, and a 28-inch barrel. Victrix also offers a direct-thread .50 BMG suppressor claiming about 46 dB reduction and hearing-safe performance, priced around €2,000, while the rifle package includes the handle and in-house bipod.
Pricing details for the Corvo .50 BMG package are outlined: approximately €9,000 before VAT, including the rifle, carry handle, and Victrix bipod. The hosts note that the Corvo is already available in the United States through a partner in Tennessee. Attention then turns to the Scorpio V .338 Lapua, a smaller but similarly engineered rifle featuring a folding stock, a two-stage 1 kg trigger, stainless steel action and barrel, an in-house polymer magazine, integrated 20 MOA Picatinny rail, M-LOK fore-end, proprietary bipod, and muzzle brake, with a price around €6,000 before tax. Victrix claims extreme precision, citing roughly 0.23 MOA performance for the .338 and sub-MOA accuracy for the .50 BMG despite its challenging caliber. The company then introduces the 2024 ORB Small Bore .22 LR model, designed for ELR-style training. It uses a fully adjustable sporter buttstock with cheekpiece, length-of-pull adjustment, and a 3° adjustable rear bag rider. A folding system aids transport and cleaning, and the chassis maintains a .308 footprint so shooters can interchange .22 LR and .308 actions for realistic training, using a stainless, PVD-coated .22 bolt.
The Victrix .22 LR bolt-action rifle is examined in depth, showing a modular chassis that can be swapped easily. It uses a stainless steel PVD-coated bolt and a 10-round in-house magazine. A very light single-stage trigger is set at about 200 g, emphasizing precision. The rifle features an AR-standard grip, a new chassis with M-LOK, Arca, and Anschütz-style rails, plus a movable front rail or handguard section. A heavy barrel with an M18x1 threaded muzzle supports suppressors or brakes. Victrix stresses extremely tight CNC machining tolerances and lists a price around €3,400, with potential U.S. availability in two to three months depending on dealer orders. The video then moves to the TTI Canik Combat pistol, a collaboration between Taran Tactical Innovations and Canik. This pistol sports a spiral-fluted barrel, a very light, smooth trigger, a fiber optic front sight paired with a cleaner, tighter serrated rear sight, and a tool-less removable compensator. Additional features include a flared magwell and aggressive grip texturing. After nearly two years of development, it is positioned as a high-performance yet affordable option under $1,000, shipping around May with a presentation box, commemorative coin, holster, and accessories.
At the Canik booth, the hosts stage an airsoft shooting challenge against Taran Butler using a target scoring system. Taran confidently predicts victory while the host jokingly offers him a handicap by choosing the worst gun. They run multiple strings, with scores often in the 90s, occasional perfect 100s, and some very low or even negative scores due to misses and penalties. Malfunctions, accidental hits on a female no-shoot silhouette, and playful accusations about gun setup and sight alignment add humor. Despite the banter, Taran, a nine-time Grandmaster, clearly dominates the contest. The segment underscores how the airsoft guns provide fun, low-cost practice and invites viewers to visit the Canik/TTI booth at noon to receive coins and see the Canik TTI Combat pistol. The scene then shifts to an interview with Memed, who introduces the Hermox X Power, 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 proprietary internal design, a very light slide for faster sight recovery, and an extremely short trigger reset of about 0.5 mm.
The Hermox X Power is explored as a double-stack 1911/2011-style pistol built around Glock 17 magazines, offering 17-round capacity. Its slide is heavily lightened with extensive cuts to reduce reciprocating mass, improving tracking and recoil control. An integrated flared magwell speeds reloads, while the sight setup remains 1911-compatible. The trigger system stands out with an ultra-short 0.5 mm reset and a pull weight around 2.2 lb, with minimal slack. The host notes the smooth slide-to-frame fit and the inclusion of interchangeable grip panels and a curved competition-style trigger. Hermox Defense explains that a monolock steel trigger made from 1040 steel and a one-piece milled frame enhance rigidity and accuracy. The slide is cut for a red dot, and two adapter plates are included for popular optics footprints. After ongoing live-fire testing, the company plans U.S. introduction at a sub-$1,000 price point. The presenter then discovers the Vermach X Rotary, a novel two-barrel .32-caliber pistol. A button allows the user to pull back and rotate the dual-barrel assembly clockwise for removal or reinsertion. The design uses two triggers for sequential firing and a safety that blocks both triggers when engaged.
The Vermach-style prototype double-trigger firearm is briefly demonstrated, with emphasis on how its safety system works to block the triggers. Sentry is mentioned as planning to bring this unusual design to the U.S. market. The hosts then move to the Simway hunting simulator, a training system available in both the U.S. and Europe. It uses replica rifles with functioning triggers and Aimpoint ACRO P2 optics to shoot at a large screen displaying hunting scenarios. The group runs a head-to-head competition, joking about their marksmanship as the simulator scores hits, misses, and lethal shots on virtual game. They agree on a rematch with a bet of 10 push-ups for the loser, adding friendly pressure. After the rematch, one host clearly wins, and the focus shifts to letting the cameraman Ryan and another participant, Auburn, take turns. They narrate shots on simulated birds, deer, bears, and a no-shoot target, highlighting how the system can train target discrimination and shot placement in a safe, repeatable environment.
The simulator segment wraps with jokes about shot placement and a close final score before the hosts move on to Bull Armory. Ben introduces the new patent-pending BO (Bul Optics) mounting system, designed to improve durability and flexibility for slide-mounted optics. It uses a stabilizing post that takes mechanical load off the optic screws, allowing very low slide cuts and thin aluminum plates for different footprints. Supported patterns include RMR, DeltaPoint, RMS/SMS, Holosun K, and RTS2, with an ACRO plate in development. The system is engineered so that screws supplied by major optics manufacturers like Trijicon, Holosun, and Leupold work without special hardware. A removable, adjustable rear sight plate lets users switch between an optic for everyday carry and low iron sights for competition. Bull Armory then shows updated pistols: the new Ultralite with a redesigned slide and barrel, more aggressive grip module, CCW-oriented magwell, and black small parts; the Ultralite Pro with V6 porting to reduce recoil; and the EDC, a Glock 17–sized full-size carry pistol with a 4.25-inch match-grade bull barrel and flash-cut, crowned muzzle aimed at concealment, defense, and competition.
The final segment focuses on BUL Armory’s double-stack 1911-style lineup. The EDC is presented as a Glock 17–sized aluminum-frame carry pistol, while the slightly longer EDC Pro adds a V8 ported barrel for flatter shooting. New TAC models introduce full-length dust covers with integrated Picatinny rails, using stainless steel frames and offering both 4.25-inch and 5-inch barrel options. These pistols share furniture with the EDC and target duty, self-defense, competition, and nightstand roles. The representative clarifies that the dust cover refers to the railed section in front of the trigger guard. The Ultralite and EDC now ship with three magazines, and the TAC with four. Pricing is detailed: Ultralite at $1,750 (plus $200 for ported), EDC at $1,850 (plus $200 for ported), and TAC at $2,250 (plus $200 for ported), emphasizing strong value compared to other 2011-style guns. Hands-on impressions highlight extremely smooth slide operation, excellent grip texture and magwell geometry for large hands, and a crisp, short-reset trigger. U.S. shipments are targeted for Q2, though potential delays are acknowledged due to the situation in Israel, with a stated priority on maintaining quality over volume.
