Intro and Yeet Cannon Story

Clint from Classic Firearms welcomes viewers back and introduces Kaia and guest Black Rambo in the gun room, which holds an estimated 300 to 400 firearms. Clint challenges Black Rambo to pick his top five favorites from the collection. For his number five slot, Black Rambo immediately chooses the High Point Yeet Cannon, surprising everyone given the number of high-end guns and optics available. He explains that this pistol was his first firearm, bought from a pawn shop for about $120 when he was 21 and short on money. He later had it confiscated by police after an illegal discharge outside a house, which pushed him to learn firearm laws and safety. Because of that experience, the Yeet Cannon holds personal significance for him.

High Point Yeet Cannon Suppressed

The group focuses on the High Point Yeet Cannon as Black Rambo’s number five pick. He insists he can outshoot everyone with it and notes that many people struggle to shoot it well. They attach a suppressor, and Clint comments on how quiet and surprisingly accurate the setup is. Black Rambo jokes about unconventional sight use, saying the shooter has to know what they are doing and look along the side. Clint explains why it is called the Yeet Cannon: High Point let the internet vote on the name for its next gun, and “Yeet Cannon” won by a wide margin. Black Rambo had simply called it a High Point before learning the backstory, and he appreciates that the factory branding on the gun reflects the internet-chosen name.

Marlin .45-70 Lever Gun Choice

For his number four pick, Black Rambo selects a .45-70 lever-action rifle, referring to a tactical-style build he has seen with accessories mounted. He likes the idea of a tactical setup and says he would add his own touches, including a side saddle or carrier for extra rounds and likely an ACOG optic. He already owns a Trapper model at home and enjoys bringing it out for others to shoot because of the heavy recoil. He describes the .45-70’s kick as “gnarly” and says people’s facial expressions after firing it are unforgettable. Clint mentions that custom shops like Mad Pig Customs build tactical .45-70s and notes that similar rifles appeared in a recent John Wick movie. Both agree the .45-70 cartridge is powerful, fun to shoot, and impressive to see in person.

Gold Zastava M70 AK in 7.62x39

At number three, Black Rambo chooses an AK platform, saying he cannot be “Black Rambo” without one. He calls the AK one of the most reliable firearms available and recalls personally putting an AK in mud and gunk and still having it run. The specific rifle on the wall is a gold-plated Zastava M70 chambered in 7.62x39, not a standard AK-47, and Clint notes it has been valued around seven to eight thousand dollars. They emphasize that this particular gun is too nice to abuse, but Black Rambo jokes he would still drop it and run it hard. Clint points out that the 7.62x39 AK is among the most widely used shoulder-fired weapon systems in the world. The gold finish matches Black Rambo’s style, and they talk about taking photos with it, highlighting how well it fits his persona.

FN M249 SAW and Marine Corps Memories

For his number two choice, Black Rambo picks the M249 SAW, also referred to as the FN M249. He connects this light machine gun to his service as a United States Marine Corps war veteran, recalling seeing Marines carry and fire it in Iraq. He notes that the gunner running a weapon like the SAW is often a prime target on the battlefield, which is why gunners wear extra head protection. Clint compares the M249 to the larger 7.62 NATO 240 series, saying he loves the 240 Golf but appreciates the lighter weight, faster rate of fire, and 5.56 NATO chambering of the SAW, along with its ability to accept M16 magazines. Black Rambo stresses that the M249 is serious when seen in real combat use. Clint adds that this exact M249, equipped with an EOTech optic and drum, is being featured in a Classic Firearms contest at the time of recording.
