The video opens with a detailed look at a Red Arrow Weapons AR-10-style rifle, the RAW10MB Semi-Automatic .308 in Midnight Bronze. The hosts describe it as a super flat-shooting .308 that weighs just under 9 pounds unloaded and without an optic, making it manageable for hunting and field use. They highlight the fluted stainless steel 18-inch barrel and a two-chamber muzzle brake, then recall needing several shots to properly place rounds on 330 pounds of tannerite stuffed into a Prius before it finally detonated. A key feature is the factory-installed CMC 2.5-pound flat-face single-stage drop-in trigger, praised for its very short take-up and crisp, short reset. The rifle ships with a 20-round Magpul PMAG and wears Magpul furniture, including a slimmer K-style grip and an ACS-L stock with small storage compartments. Background is given on Kip, founder of Red Arrow Weapons and Red Arrow TV, whose bowhunting roots and desire for a purpose-built hunting rifle shaped the configuration and ergonomics of these AR-10 and AR-15 platforms.
The focus shifts to how the .308 RAW10MB and the lighter 5.56 Red Arrow rifles handle in dynamic scenarios. The AR-10 is shown with its ACS-L stock and Magpul furniture, plus an S-style M-LOK rail that keeps Picatinny only where needed to save weight, giving it the feel of a lightweight competitive AR-10 that still works as a hunting rifle. The hosts then discuss Red Arrow’s very light 5.56 builds, such as the RAW15CB Carbon Black and RAW15MB Midnight Bronze AR-15-style rifles, emphasizing that hunters appreciate reduced weight when carrying rifles long distances. They describe shooting from a moving vehicle, where one shooter has to transition from right-handed to left-handed as the vehicle turns and the target moves relative to the truck. Despite the awkward angles, he manages to land 10 rounds on target. Throughout hundreds of rounds, the ARs are run essentially dry with only simple Vortex red dots, yet they continue to function reliably, which is noted as impressive given how dirty AR platforms can become under sustained fire.
In the middle portion, the hosts expand on Red Arrow Weapons’ broader lineup and philosophy. They stress that Red Arrow rifles, including AR-10s like the RAW10MB and AR-15 variants such as the RAW15BR with black and red accents and the RAW15300BM .300 BLK, are American-made and configured with quality parts. The company continues to support AR pistols and pistol caliber carbines with braces and is planning NFA offerings in multiple configurations. The video highlights partnerships with Caldwell, Vortex Optics, and Guard Dog Body Armor. A standout component is the Vortex first focal plane Strike Eagle 5-25x56, which allows easy engagement of targets at around 350 yards. Using this optic at a decommissioned rock quarry, they not only blow up a Prius but also significantly damage a concrete wall, demonstrating the capability of the .308 RAW10MB platform. The hosts conclude this section by recommending Red Arrow Weapons for delivering strong value, pairing solid accessories and components with competitive pricing for hunters and shooters.
The final chapter begins with praise for Kip’s wife, who films in the rain while heavily pregnant, underscoring the dedication behind Red Arrow TV and the brand. Attention returns to the Red Arrow RAW-10 AR-10 rifle, with the hosts appreciating its larger .308 caliber, ambidextrous safety, and overall build quality. They encourage viewers to explore Red Arrow Weapons rifles and related content, while admitting they are not professional instructors but enthusiastic shooters who spend significant time behind these guns, sometimes with mixed results. The video then covers one of the most extreme tests: shooting from inside a car through a closed windshield. Even with ear and eye protection, the experience is described as extremely loud and unpleasant, yet it demonstrates how the rifles function in harsh, unconventional conditions. The hosts thank Red Arrow Weapons for providing two Priuses—one to blow up with tannerite and one to shoot from during the windshield segment—capping off a comprehensive, real-world evaluation of the platforms.
