Good thing we didn’t see the deadly magazine removal. I was actually getting ready to fast forward lest my eyes see something offensive

The mag well becoming the ejection port is so goofy but so elegant, I love it!

I was at shot the year these debuted. FN had a string of folks trying to buy up P90 mags. When they found out why all the sudden interest in mags when they hadn't really been selling many of the commercial PS90's, they were visibly pissed. I just remember thinking to myself "you guys could have made this thing. But, you chose to push people to a ridiculous and expensive 16" barrel version of the P90, and just left this lane wide open."

It's just amazing how versatile the AR platform is. I even saw one that was designed to work as a muzzle loader.

The most computer game thing here is at 6:00 when Ian casualy has a pack full of "Pick your starting class" guns.

I swear I thought that it was a meme suggestion and not an actual video from FW when I saw "FSS Hurricane".

I remember the days when a spinner was Ian’s nemesis… Now he’s beating them with everything! Way to go!

I'm not a gun person -- never even fired one -- but guns are nonetheless fascinating and I appreciate your calm manner and intellectual approach to their history.

"Can't show you how to take the magazine off, that'd be dangerous" Thanks KZfaq 🙃🙃🙃

Ian acknowledging video games in his videos is always a treat

Love Ian's confidence in the new case, carefully loads the guns into the case then yeets the case into the truck😅

Ian finally got his wish after saying he wanted one in an InRangeTV QNA. Can’t wait for his decade long preorder on his HMG STG44 come as well.

I own a couple of these. Expensive to fuel, but great fun to shoot. Surprisingly heavy, it has effectively zero recoil.

I found one of those about a decade ago floating around at one of my local gun shops, the owner had the top two rows on all the walls dedicated to his own personal collection, lots of fully-automatics, any staple rifle/smg you could think of, 20 cajillion different M16/M4 models, and the AR57 was nustled in with them, such a unique look you just can't forget it. I know the P90 overshadows it (and is responsible for the magazine) but its weird it wasn't in tactical shooters and movies very much.

Great video as always. I would love to see more videos about AR's chambered in interesting calibers like 458 SOCOM, 50 BEO, 338 Razorback, etc. It would be fun to learn about the cartridges and the changes necessary to make them work.

People in the future will be so confused with you saying showing how to take off the magazine would be dangerous lmao

The polymer one-piece actually fits that upper nicely, the lines work very well.

I REALLY appreciate that Ian is not afraid to beat the crap out of that case after talking it up. 100% putting his money where his mouth is and there's just so much more confidence in the product, that money can't buy, generated by watching that. not even the topic of the video but by far, one of the more impressive aspects I've witnessed from most shooting channels.

Ian, I moved from AZ to the Midwest for work a few years ago and have been incredibly homesick lately. Watching you play in the desert has really helped make the dreary winters a little more tolerable. Thanks for continuing to put out great content and being yourself despite YT doing its best to foil gun tubers.

Ian: travels to the range with weapons worth more than his car Also Ian: proceeds to throw the case in and out of the car as rough as possible

Fun thing is you can take the follower and spring out of an AR mag and use it as a brass catcher.

Props to the devs for reviving interest in this system. I really hope it sees full production again.

I love that you are a very scholarly and professional firearm enthusiast/advocate/educator. There’s nothing wrong with some of the more wild people, it’s just nice to watch your videos and walk away knowing more than I came with. Thankyou, I’ve been watching for years and will continue to do so!

Built one with a Hera stock set looks very futuristic, good to know about the out of battery detonation had no idea

I have no idea what these new rules are. I see magazines being put on and taken off, I see suppressors unscrewed, I have no idea what anybody can get away with anymore :( See you on Utreon Ian.

Really quite nice seeing Ian have fun with a gun, especially one that seems somehow outside his particular flavor. Great breakdown of this bizarre arm

4:20 Magpul over there making "guns are adult lego's" even more true

Speaking of new 5.7 guns, looking forward to you eventually looking at the new M&P. I might not be all that big on the 5.7 round, but that gas system is pretty awesome.

5.7 is a great round! I remember my first PS90 when they were first available and a box of FN blue tips were $18-20 a box. I shot it all day long with no ear plugs too, they were quiet

You can tell Ian is really into the SBR version. In a span of ten seconds between 9:03 - 9:13, he calls it both 'Cute' and 'Adorable'.

With the magazine area you could make a brass catch that just uses the AR lower mag latch.

Really nice to see Ian having fun enjoying shooting his Five Seven, a lot of what he does looks like pretty hard work.

I’m actually very glad to see one of these built off the polymer lowers, I’ve had that as an idea for a while.

"The trigger is kind of meh" - you made my day! 🤣

Ian, I film fishing videos. I learned quickly to always have the camera rolling no matter what because the coolest shit happens when you're not expecting it. Love the vids!

One of the funniest things I ever heard at a gun range was when a guy said he was tired of loading mags and wanted to go to belt fed.😄

You really make me lol sometimes “perhaps if we’re interested”? Of course we’re interested, you can literally make a tin can interesting.

I remember seeing those uppers and almost grabbed one because I have had a PS90 with a handful of magazines already. Ultimately passed on it, but I still think it's neat.

Ian has such a great relationship with guns. He's like a sommelier.

There should be an ad for Pelican cases that stars Ian. He’s sitting at a table with his head down, hair falling down around his face, in what looks to be the recreation room in a Jail. A Pelican case is shown being loaded up with a priceless WWII StG44, the pre-production EM2, and a Zip gun. The case is locked, then tossed from the second floor observation deck down into the recreation area. With his head still down, the camera swings around to Ian’s face…his eyes open, looking up into the camera, a sinister grin forms a moment before he flashes out of frame. Banging, smashing, bouncing noises ensue. We hear Ian streak: “there’s no key!” Followed by silence. We see Ian sitting at the table again, head down, eyes closed, a tear crawling down his cheek. The camera pans to the Pelican case and follows it as guards enter and carry it back up to the second floor observation deck. The case is opened, revealing all of the weapons still in their places, perfectly protected.

I remember seeing these over a decade ago and thinking it was super dope! Panzer arms makes one for about $800, and I was thinking about it, but 5.7 is a little too rich for my blood.

the absolute confidence when manhandeling that case

yeah ammo is still a barrier to sales, but this thing is really cool. Thanks for the video Ian

I remember first seeing pictures of the AR Five Seven when it started popping up in Venezuela mid way through the crisis happening as a result of the corruption and rewriting of the Venezuelan constitution by Maduro to make him essentially dictator for life. Both in the hands of the Venezuelan Army and some of the Colectivos as well as in the hands of dissidents. It still to me is one of the most alien looking things because of the fact that the mag has to sit in the hand guard and feeds down with the spent shell casings going through what would be the mag well, which is trippy when all I ever saw until that point was conventional ARs. That said, it still looks cool all these years later and it's amazing that it still manages to have an alien look to it whilst being a fun little plinker. Thank you Ian for doing an in depth look into this oddity that continues to gain popularity.

One of those rare vids where I'm more interested in the case than the guns! That is a great system.

2:28 I got to rent a true full auto P90 (not PS90 converted) and the best way I can describe the progressive trigger is that it feels like a Gamecube controller trigger, it has a lot of take up

the production quality on this video was next level. I'm loving all the extra behind the scenes stuff and travel shots💜

I fully enjoy the main portion of this video but at the same time I just keep thinking to myself, Wow that's a nice case.

With the high cost of 5,7x28 ammo, a Slide-on case catcher on the flared Mag well would be Ideal. Can be made by 3D printing in plastic, or a steel neck with synthetic Textile bag below. Saves losing expensive empty cases. ( I am a compulsive reloader) Great Vid. Very nice futuristic SciFi movie gun... DocAV AVB Film Guns

That's one of the most amusing intros on Forgotten Weapons! Loved every second of it!

All those kettle bell throws finally payimg off for chucking that case around.

Thanks for the info. That Daka case looks promising.

Neat! I think one of those stubby fixed-magnification prismatic scopes would be the ideal solution for this. You aren't likely to want more than 3x or 4x with the 5.7 anyway.

That's the way to go! Embracing video game culture. I think it's good given how famous Jonathan Ferguson has become by reviewing video games on Gamespot

You can take a standard ar15 mag, cut off the feed lips and have the brass collect in the mag, can also take the mag base off or use a shorter mag and attach a bag to collect multiple magazines of brass. This made the system really good for heli shooters in my area, the brass dosent go anywhere near the blades and 100% was retrieved for reloading. At the time when guys were using these for culling wallabies the cost was so prohibitive so everyone wanted to reload.

Wow! The way you painted that spinner was pure artistic expression.

I can see that gun in a sci-fi action movie. It's got that look about it

Thank you for the information that they stated making them again I will definitely be getting one for my collection

Thank you again for the videos. I always look forward to these bits of knowledge

This Video was way better in Detail than what Military Arms Channel did. I'm glad I've seen this.

Not cursed enough!

Im normally not a 5.7 fan, but this is pretty darn neat!

I actually would love a look at the new ones especially if they have fixed the out of battery issue. This would be an easy fix to a lot of my current gun budget. Always wanted a rational 57 platform and this isn't the first I'm hearing about this, but it is the first time i've seen it have positive reviews. Look forward to seeing how the new ones perform if you guys dig into it. Really cool rifle.

I love AR's and the P90 so naturally when I played the Beta for Mw2022 I fell in love with the AR 57 in game and thank you again for doing a video on it!

Ian you should have a look at PGM last offer: a kit to make a MAS 45 22lr rifle look as a Hecate 2 . it was an idea promoted by a paratrooper battalion in order for the snipers to practice without having to go to a long distance range.

I really like the idea of a bolt action 5.7 so I can snipe some beavers in the early spring. .22mag works well but there is just something about the 5.7

Love the gun case , very modular . That AR57 supressed is a very cheeky little platform 😊😊

everyone going on about the dangerous magazines but thought it was comedic genius for you trust your gun case and just toss it in the bed of your truck. thank you Mr. McCollum your subtle humor does not go unnoticed.

Neat, it's basically a modern G11 without the space magic :)

I was hoping CMMG would make a variant of the AR 57. A problem my ps 90 has is the mag popping up due to pressure still being high ish during the blowback cycle. CMMG’s radial delayed blowback could have solved that problem.

Well déjà vu all over again. This is my second exposure to AR57. The first was the guy at range the shooting table to the right of me yesterday! I believe his was the “new” companies and was the 16” version. I can report no self ejecting magazine where experienced. Wish this vid came out 1st so I could ask if the new version has an out of battery trigger block. AR57 guy was rather pleased with the firearm performance and accuracy at 50 yards! Some what unrelated …I stated he was to the right of me because I was serving as a comp blast block from the lovely gentleman with the 300 Win Mag with a howitzer brake to the left of us! AR57 guy and I moved off the line until Battleship Boy finished blowing stuff around on my table and AR57 guy could go back to concentrating on sighting in his AR57 instead of lifting his head up wondering were the incoming artillery blast was coming from! So I guess I should be thankful because I might have never had that conversation AR57 guy without Battleship Boy’s “thoughtful” intervention! If anyone is considering being that “thoughtful” in the future please consider putting some thought ahead of the full out war on your fellow range buds!

LONG time subscriber here. Bog grats on 2.5 mil!

I put together an AR57 build with a KP-15 lower after seeing it in the background of your gwacs lawsuit update video! It's a lightweight and fantastic little carbine! One issue I had was that the proprietary buffer that came with the AR57 was slightly too big around for the buffer spring that came with the KP-15, but that was easily solved by buying a new buffer spring.

I've been pretty interested in getting the Third gen myself, probably do a 13.9" P&W to the original barrel, just to take a little length off. I wasn't aware they didn't have OOB safeties, that is a little concerning, given how expensive those magazines are.

The first time I leaned of this weapon was a CAD mock-up for a p90 style lower receiver. Front grip and stock included in the design. I’m guessing some one wanted their AR57 to look even more like a P90.

I bought one of the newest generations of these on an absolute whim. Slapped it on a AERO lower and put a Geissele trigger in it. And its an absolute blast at the range. Everyone wants to come shoot it, thanks for covering it Ian, great content as always!

What makes the "FSS Hurricane" in MW2022 more interesting is the fact that it still has an AR-style charging handle while it incorrectly has a bolt hold open when the magazine is expended. Would really love to hear if you have any "analysis" on how the "FSS Hurricane" in the game could work with its own configuration.

Usually I skip ads, but oh my, that was some very rough handling for the gun case!

The spinner was a good demonstration of how little energy 5.7x28 actually has.

Just for giggles I checked Ammoseek this morning (02/04/23) and 5.56x45 is going for 29.4 cents a round with the 5.7x28 56.5 cents a round. (223 Rem was 31.5 cents). I think in a year or so, once there are more 5.7 out there, the cost may drop some more, but really, you can get a S&W ar-15 22lr cheap and it will fill a similar roll as a range toy. CCI Stingers (32gr copper coated bullet @ 1640fps) with a 50 round drum mag while not a small and compact would still do the job at a faction of the cost. I mean, it is just a range toy after all.

I was really, really hoping that Ian would have removed the rifles and pistol and just filled the case with random and damaged gun parts. Then we could have seen his acting skills when he opened the case at the range and pretended to be horrified and pass out.😲😵

I need some of those systems for my Vault cases.

The magazine well being the ejection port is brilliant. Take that magazine you have that always jams, take the bottom and the guts out, cut the feed lips off and attach a cloth bag to the bottom. Presto, you've got a brass catcher for your expensive 5.7 brass.

Thanks for showcasing this! 20 years ago I saw one at a friend's house and didn't know what to think of it! Didn't shoot it and never saw one again!

1st minute gang! FSS Hurricane meta going strong.

I cant help but wonder if there is an attachment for the magazine well to catch the brass, so you dont have to pick it up :P

What's great about this gun, is left eye dominant folks love it. It's like the BPS shotguns with downward ejection. Keeps shit from crossing your line of sight. Excellent biazaro thingy.

I saw that magpul video, the DAKA blocks are very cool, glad to see them in the wild already!

Nice

i want that case but for miniatures. But also for guns.

Neat, that "ejection port" is a great place to hang a cartridge collection bag for clandestine ops.

Taking a look at the new version would be great and I believe would generate a lot of interest in the firearm, and you did a great breakdown on this video, Thanks.

Get ready for the memes

Shhh be werey werey wuiet were hunting wabbits

Damn, that demo of the case was actually really damn good. Kinda like watching an infomercial, except without the bullshit. Just literally throw it on the back, don't tie it down, and manhandle it out, no problem. =)

magpul went from marketing everything an over-zealous amount to not marketing anything ever, had no idea this came out

Ian has the only channel on YT where I get excited when I see he's going to do an ad for something. It's going to be worth watching.

I’ve loved this rifle since the first time I heard about it in 08. Finally got an upper this year.

The case is really cool thanks for the behind scene look. I know what I’m gonna be saving up for now

That Magpul DAKA case is really neat! That's an extremely nice Merwin!
