The hosts open by joking that they like the Desert Tech MDRX but wish it were shorter, and then play up a gag about unexpectedly receiving a shipment that turns out to include the compact Micron configuration. They describe it as looking like it was left in the dryer too long before clarifying that its small size is exactly the point. Clint introduces Alec and explains that this video is part two of their series on new guns of 2021. They mention that part one covered models like the AP5 and encourage viewers to watch that earlier episode after this one. The plan for this installment is to revisit a couple of those earlier mentions while focusing on additional 2021 releases and configurations that stood out during the year.
Attention shifts to the B&T Station 6, which the hosts describe as a modernized take on the British Wellrod pistol, now chambered in 9mm. They read from the product description, noting that the original Wellrod was a British bolt‑action, magazine‑fed, integrally suppressed pistol devised during World War II. The Station 6 keeps the bolt‑action, single‑shot 9mm concept and uses an integrated silencer that is sold as part of a required kit, rather than as a separate suppressor. They talk about how quiet the original design was, reportedly around 73 decibels, and joke that it reaches the classic “Hollywood quiet” level. The conversation touches on its historical role with irregular forces and resistance groups operating in occupied territory, where making as little noise as possible was critical. They reference British personnel and resistance fighters, imagining use by groups such as the French resistance, and note that many people likely met their end at the muzzle of the original design. The hosts emphasize that the Station 6 is a very cool, historically inspired pistol with practical applications for users who need extremely low sound levels in specialized situations.
The discussion moves to the Daniel Defense Delta 5 Pro, a modular bolt‑action rifle intended for long‑range precision and competition. It is positioned as an evolution of the earlier Delta 5, with a chassis system designed for shooters who want a competition‑ready rifle out of the box. Daniel Defense claims a 0.5 MOA or better accuracy guarantee at 100 yards when using quality factory match‑grade ammunition. The hosts note that the rifle uses cold hammer forged barrels produced in‑house and that the barrel contour is forged from a proprietary steel blend. Barrel swaps are designed to be straightforward without requiring a gunsmith. Chamberings mentioned include .308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 6mm Creedmoor, making it suitable for long‑range matches and potential professional precision roles.
The hosts then examine the Desert Tech MDRX Micron, described as a conversion kit that turns an existing MDRX rifle into a very short‑barreled bullpup SBR. The Micron configuration uses an approximately 11.5‑inch barrel in 5.56 NATO and is promoted as one of the world’s shortest rifles with that barrel length. Because it remains a rifle, the Micron setup is an NFA‑regulated short‑barreled rifle, but the conversion kit itself is the marketed product, installed on a standard MDRX chassis. The MDRX platform supports multiple calibers, including 5.56, .308, and 6.5 Creedmoor. In Micron form, overall length is just over 23 inches and height is about 8 inches without optics, making it compact for bags and close‑quarters use. The bullpup is fully ambidextrous and noted for having an unusually good trigger for this layout. The hosts compare it to platforms like the AUG and to a 10.3‑inch Mark 18, emphasizing that the Micron’s longer 5.56 barrel in a shorter overall package helps preserve velocity and terminal performance while remaining extremely compact.
The final segment focuses on Shadow Systems pistols, using the MR920 as a reference point for the newly released DR920. The MR920 is roughly Glock 19 sized and is shown equipped with a Streamlight weapon light and a Trijicon RMR, though those accessories are not included from the factory. From the box, the MR920 offers a threaded barrel, a ported slide, and other custom‑style features at a price the hosts consider competitive compared to building up a customized Glock. The DR920, described as “duty ready,” is the full‑size counterpart, comparable in size to a Glock 17 and intended as a duty or service pistol. The hosts emphasize ergonomics, how well the pistols shoot, and the value of getting these features without extensive aftermarket work, and they express interest in testing the DR920 once it becomes available.
