This video makes my neck scar tingle⚡️
You came to mind while watching.
Gave me a laugh
The superpower you didn't want
So when ya gonna go shoot it?
Haha
I think the biggest flex in this video is him being able to afford the ammo
That being said, buy some 50 cal little by little and squirrel it away in case the Democrats get their way and ban it like they did in NJ and iirc CA.
Better yet when he was taking the gun apart, was I the only one that saw the two m203? 👀
Well... how much is 50.bmg

It would be cool to see that PTRS within a month. I’ve always heard about it and would love to see you cover it soon.

It's nice to see that Brandon is doing so well he was able to go from a GunBroker addiction to a Rock Island addiction.
It’s like seeing a gambling addict go from betting the house to buying a new one from winnings at the high roller table . Beautiful really.
He's getting classy!
Just one step closer to Brandon and Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons collaborating 😉
@@generalilbis no
@@Snowlep337 why isn't it possible?
The sequence where Scott, Matt and Brandon each fired a different .50 bmg rifle was pretty cool.
I thought that was rather dope as well. It really shows how intertwined the gun community here on CZcams is.
Didn’t even realize it was them til I saw this and went back
Never stop doing the breakdown of the guns! Sure most people just like the shooting, but to see how they are engineered is So FREAKING cool. Beautiful mechanics.
Brandon, you have to release a limited edition of 36 or 86 units of shirts with Pauza P50 print and caption "It's eating my shirt again" ))
Can we all appreciate “the SECOND rarest 50 cal in my collection” and the simple statement “my ptrs-41”. Those two things are insane on their own let alone together.
PTRS has nothing to do with .50 though.
@@TheArklyte the ptrs would technically be a .57 cal but you can round up or down ig
@@TheArklyte he was quoting two separate moments in the video being two ridiculous statements
Cant wait for him too shoulder fire the ptrs-41
Isn't AK50 1 of 1?
🤔
I remember when a gun mag did an article on the P50 after the RoboCop release. I was reading it in a grocery store when I realized they were in Baytown. I drove straight there. Got to meet and speak with Robert for awhile. He offered to let me shoot one if I came back on a range day. I left with a few fired casings and an autograph on that magazine. I might have been about 17 years old. Super nice guy to spend time with a kid who had a bunch of design questions.
I saw Baytown on there and now I wanna take a trip. It’s only an hour away
Awesome. These are the things we like to hear. Got to kick it with JCVD in New Orleans area when I was 15 when he was filming hard target. The sheriff of my town , Long Beach ms , was also my best friends dad and our Martial arts instructor, Sensei kickboxing instructor etc and he said he could kick JCVD’s butt and so he and a guy named Houston Dorr, LA state detective and kickboxer , and a few of us kids carpooled to see this challenge. They ended up getting along so well we stayed two days and met so many stunt guys etc. so freaking fun. 😂😂. Thanks for rem me of those times lol.
Serial #006 was used for RoboCop 2 (1990). Was it before the Gun World Article of May 1992?
There was also a 5 pound lighter carbine version P-50C with 24" bbl and the earlier prototype had the Magazine much more forward, a different gas system.
@@HalloVasallo I thought it was earlier but I googled the issue you mentioned and that was definitely the magazine cover.
@@nathanjordan1782
I don't know Baytown, where is it in relation to Waco?
13:10 Brandon unwittingly showing what he thinks of Royal Ordnance for the similar design on the SA80. Many a crew room ceiling with holes, dents and scrapes in from constant recoil spring ejections when you split the receiver on the SA80 family.
Watching this video made me wonder what the " Cobra Assault Cannon" from 1987 Robocop 1 was. I found out it was a Barret M82 with flashy bits added, shame I was hoping it was a monster but it is just a beautiful beast of a gun we all know and love. Thank you Brandon for your channel we love you. errr no homo..
To see a dude as big as this guy struggling with the assembly and disassembly is quite amazing. The power of that spring what a beaut
There's a reason they call the Barrett recoil spring the "pogo stick of doom"
This! I am a bit older now. Watching Brandon struggle tells me, I simply cannot do that. Lol! Not that buying one of these was on any of my lists but anyway. lol.
I think the angle has a bit to do with it. It is catching on itself.
That did cause some concern but I don’t plan on tinkering with jury rigged heavy weapons any time soon
I would contend that the gun was designed to never be disassembled except for major repairs. It's a .50 cal SKS. Your barrel will be shot out before it's ever dirty enough to stop functioning.
Brandon casually owning rare as hell .50s and a PTRS is insane, but I’m so happy I get to hear about and see these rare ass weapons. Keep up the great work, Brandon and CO
wait when tf did he get a PTRS
@@justink-kh3ps He Shows it off a Little later in the video, I was just as surprised
@@theeFBI that mf
Who knows if he can even afford the 14.5mm ammunition for that hand held ctrl - X
@@communistcrusader2101 I'm thinking that he can't even find any in the US, it's all going to Ukraine.
3:55 (the third from the hip shot) Go frame by frame (pause (spacebar) and use the < and > keys to step frames, may have to press twice on some videos because of frame doubling) you can see the barrel sproing around! I mean, I know about barrel resonance but that is insane!!!
Every time Brandon speaks about weapon science and Bolt action system, I imeadietally gotta get my notebook on gunsmithing and design. I would love to enter to SDI, but as mexican citizen..well you get the idea. Anyhow, gotta love the explosion sound on this Pauza .50 on slo mo
Mexican you say? Well The "S" in "SDI" does mean "Sonoran" 😂
@@seanmurry6903 and even though...its not on Sonora ground
I am usually one to lurk and never comment but I thoroughly thank Brandon for taking the time to explain how these firearms work, might sound kinda cheesy but it's nice to hear why it works, not just that it throws hunks of metal because it's a gun and that's what they do.
Agree. He's really nailing it lately.
Me three...it's mostly why I watch him, tbh...the engineering explanations just make me happy, I gues@
Agreed Brandon truly is Ak Jesus
There was a reddit thread I was reading, that seems to be the major draw for brandon's viewers.
Now Portal turrets. Those just throw junks of metal because they "fire the whole bullet. That's 65% more bullet per bullet."
I don't think one can truly love a firearm unless one cusses it out while disassembling it. Truly inspiring as always!
What if you cuss it out while assembling it.
@@Loneadmin typically that’s from getting extra spare parts after reassembly
I thought he was gonna lose a nipple putting that dust cover back.
I think my favorite part is when the bolt locks up due to feed ramp being hit and miss locks the bolt open on a very easy to spot manner. Anyone in the area and the handler will immediately notice the giant open bolt being hung up. Beautiful 50 Calibers as always ❤ ♥ 💖
3:44 you missed a golden opportunity to shout "I LOVE IT!" just like the bad guy in Robocop
"I *LIKE* IT!"
@smithwesson1896 whoops, you're right
The fact brandon has been sitting on this gun for a year really says something about his commitment to making good content and not rushing things
Just the sound of this thing as it fires off its round is straight from every 80's action movie. Its incredible.
Dude, ya, it has that sound i cant explain, but sounds like a video game, unreal!
That spring/mantle/bolt squeaking.
@@ironpsycho8430 definitely, sounds like something out of one of the original modern warfare games
@Brandon I have an SKS and it definitely doesn't look like it! But I also have an SVT40 and it definitely looks like it! It has the same gaz block, same tilting bolt lock and this spring you have to maintain with a tool to remove the gaz cover!
This thing sounds so satisfyingly chunky, and that clunk sound when its loads another round. By god is this just a beautiful gun to listen to.
Brandon: "We were so happy to see that the gas block size for the Pauza was the exact same as we put on the AK-50. We were just guessing, but..."
Pauza Design Team: "Oh, we were just guessing, too!"
Technically, the Pauza is your THIRD most rare 50-cal in your collection haha. Can’t forget about your own!
My hometown is Baytown, Texas. Fun fact parts of RoboCop 2 were shot in Baytown. Notably the slums of futuristic Detroit 😂
The hair, the milk jugs, the dad jokes.. I don't know what's better, my high school years or this video!
It never gets old how Branden is always so impressed by the power of each gun every time he shoots them
A lot of people love guns for the power and never get tired of it.
@@senounatsuru6453 then they must not shoot very much run rifle drills 4 hours a day hours a day and you’d change your mind 😂
@@Chris-oy4nk You don't know that. Some people are recoil junkies. Some people love seeing what guns do to a target.

Anyone else notice Brandon seems to be getting closer and closer to guns that might explode? Brandon, you ok man?
#AKGnotificationsquad
🤣 next week is gonna be testing slap rounds on the AK50
He really wants that Darwin award huh...
You’ve seen his pipe gun, right?
@@libalahsurprise, it's a great design and just tanks it.
The man's just building up an immunity to 50 cals by collecting spicy ones in the event of one just detonating on him like a hand grenade.
I remember seeing this thing in robocop 2 and wandering "What the hell is that thing"
Didn't think it was something that actually existed.
Shooting a box of beer from about 3m away with a god damn 50bmg from the shoulder while wearing flip-flops might be the most American thing I have ever seen
Bro Brandon, how the hell do you get these rare 50 BMG’s?!? Like your over here “ah yes this is my casual 1 out of 1 50 BMG.” You are truly a gift to the gun community!
Edit: I didn’t think I could get this many likes, thank y’all!
That’s what I’m saying.
This guy has to have some secretive dealer for rare fire arms.
@@michaelborden4388 🤣 he’s just secretly buying these guns from aliens or something

He must trade for them with an IOU Ak-50. As in I'll get you one once it's done
@@noahlewis6776 😂
The first 35 of these guns were basically built by hand. The later ones with a number of improvements were built on a CNC Mill. As to the nose dive it is likely the gas system. It may need adjusting. It has 3 different size holes in the piston. We usually tuned the gun to a specific ammunition. One of the later features uses the rear of the scope mount to lock the dust cover in place so it does not pinch anymore. The original inspiration for the Pauza P-50 was the Tokerev SVT-40 but also incorporated some thing from the PTRS.
Tokarev = (təkɑr̪ʲefʲ) IFA. Not Tokerev or Tikirev or Tokorev. You are welcome! )
God bless Soviet weaponry lol
The poor guys get so much stick, But they sure did put together some well crafted bangers... Along with the Germans of course.
@@helenHTID What do you mean when you mention the Germans?
@@bolshevik_1917 They made some quality bangers too :)
@@helenHTID We're talking about guns, not expensive imported hookers.
The difficulty with the recoil spring disassembly and reassembly reminds me of my P-38. Those dual recoil springs are extremely difficult to disassemble and reassemble.
I love how the range portion of this was filmed in flip flops as a fellow flip flop wearer.
I legit almost sprayed my screen with my drink when Brandon mentioned he had a PTRS-41, I honestly don't think there's all that many videos on CZcams of the PTRS-41 so Brandon's inevitable video on it will defiantly be something to watch.
If you listen to unsubscribe podcast he mentioned it a couple episodes back
I don't listen to unsubscribe podcast, so I didn't know he already mentioned he had one.
They used to hunt WHALES with it in Siberia until Putin took the PTRS's away from the indigenous hunters. And of course, they used it to hunt Panzer IVs as well.
I don't think there is something that cannot be hunted with a PTRS 41 tbh
@@riograndedosulball248 an Abrams might take more than one shot from it.
It's a bloody massive round, I'd be surprised is there was anything it couldn't hunt.
My uncle had one, from his experience, graphite dry lube was needed for his magazine to function. The one that Beta sold was what he used and he never had functioning or nose diving problems. Give it a try, it's messy but it seems to have worked for him and his rifle.
Love how you explained the information on both of the big rifles
Ww2 History buff here loves it and love your videos
I love how metallic the firing sound is!
That PTRS reveal is probably one of the biggest, most unexpected flexes I've ever witnessed.
The Pauza makes such a cool ping sound when it fires, I can't believe Brandon has been sitting on this thing for almost a year! (According to RIA)
It sounds like an anime explosion
The people during the making of robocop: the hell are we gonna use for his sniper? all of the ones we see are boring
Ronnie G Barrett: Hey guys, I have a .50 cal prototype
Your timing on your ADD break is spot on I had already minimized the video about to look for something else then you popped out like “ADD break” and I was like oh nvm I’m staying
How did Brandon go from the most famous AK guy to the second most famous 50 cal guy
and I'm OK with that
(whos the first? JMB?)

@@AmIL0st 1:22 "this gun could just explode"
Nah, it's not a Serbu
@@clsammo it was a super spicy bullet, not a problem with the gun. Let’s not go around besmirching a cool dude and his perfectly functional guns on bad info.
Is Pauza still alive? Since he was able to build a SKS-50 maybe he could help with the AK-50. Thanks for the video Brandon.
Not going to lie, after how difficult it was for Brandon to reassemble I don't think he wants his help.
The ptrs is the order brother to the sks and the pauza is a ptrs in a smaller round so he just built a newer ptrs and not a bigger sks. The sks is easier to explain then the ptrs because they made way more and everyone knows the SKS more then the ptrs. Not trying to be a asshole but that way and I just got off a 12 hour shift and sleep deprived right now so sorry for sounding like a asshole again
Dang, I was hoping I could invent the SKS-50 one day
I remember watching robocop 2 as a kid and falling in love with this gun; not knowing what it was called for the longest time.
You know I had to pause my S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly to watch your video, which then sent me down the rabbit hole to look up Pauza. Awesome video.
Brandon over here slowly realizing that he's making firearms history while being super humble.
"Science, bitch!"
"So how does this motherfucker work?"
Yeah... _super humble, alright._
@fikriarieska8450 The cartridge that fires is more comparable to .50 Beowulf, which he's already done
I needed this, my life is falling to shit, but Brandon always makes me smile
Thanks man
I am in the same boat bro. I truly hope it gets better for you.
stay cool man, got the same problem. If ya need somebody to speak with, letme know
Which Brandon?
YES🎉!
@@that_deaf_dude99 The one that likes AK's, not the child grabber in the oval office.
Saw the new Forgotten Weapons video on the PTRS-41 and said 'Wow that is glorious and stupidly large and I kinda want one, I wonder what it costs?' and saw the Rock Island sale. Someone in the comments of the video mentioned the Pauza and here I am looking at a familiar gun.
13 when training with the CAF on the FN-C1, that tilting or rocking of the block was called "camming".
The M82 was first seen ever in Robocop 1. They had a hard on for semi-auto 50s in those movies.
Im not blaming em, semi auto 50s are fucking nice
Brandon, you must invite Ian McCollum to your range! PTRS and this P50 both deserve a proper Forgotten Weapons video! You are great guy, but Ian deserves to make some super nerdy videos about these guns). And that over the shoulder Barrett too!
I dont know man, the universe might split in two if these guys meet on the range.
@@Likexner I don’t think so, I think that rifles must be documented by Ian. And that would be a great collab between channels!
AK Guy and Gun Jesus meeting on the range? That would be a hell of a video, this needs to happen.
Agreed. Those could be great collaborations. 👍
Don't forget the Luty. Ian has handled the real one but obviously couldn't shoot it. We need a range video with the Luty from Ian
I checked out your sponsor, talked to them about the program, now waiting for some info. Thanks
03:41 I love how every gun has its unique sound to it.
Thanks Brandon. I'm slowly learning about guns thanks to you. The "let's pull this thing apart" sections are starting to make way more sense.
I was just dreaming about telling a guy who Demo Ranch is then woke up to you with a very special gun video. My day couldn't be much better.
The amount of flex it is to just casually show off three extremely rare anti-material rifles in one video......
A flex that strong could generate gravity.
I love your gun posts.i find them very informative. Thank you for posting. I live in the UK where we don't really have guns only farmers and designated police officers.
I loved Brandon's maniacal laugh after shooting the case of claws
With all these super rare guns Brandon is getting, I hope we get to see a Barrett XM109 at some point in the future....
Oh god don’t give him ideas lmao.
Next think you know he’ll own a whole ass GAU-8 Avenger
Thanks for the video. Everything was very interesting. BUT, I have a Saiga-12. You promised to show automatic shooting from Saiga-12. I know that sooner or later you will fulfill your promise. I really want it to be earlier! You know, the Saiga-12 is a very interesting weapon and deserves attention!
I never thought I would see a video on this gun. I first shot one at Clear Creek Gun Range in League City Texas back around 1994. I believe the guys name was Bob that would bring the guns out to test fire.
50 cal? Oh hell yes
AK daddy like.
Not only a 50 cal but a rare one
That barrel jiggle on the hip fire segment was one of the coolest and sketchiest things ive ever seen.
6:40 HAHAHA love how your arms are literally trembling and screaming but your voice is straight, no tremble at all. Now that's composure right there!
You should let Ian at Forgotten Weapons get his hands on this. I even smell a potential badass collaboration.
Hey Brandon, I'm starting my first semester at SDI later this month and I name dropped you on my application lol. Just wanted to say thanks for sharing your passion for gunsmithing and building. It got me started on the path for sure.
that is a pog champ move right there
You either going to love the school, be ok with or hate. As a form student that graduated from them. Was more a pain then gain. Plus they say to help find a job after. Yea, nope. I live in texas. I only found one a in the whole state that only offer experience not pay and was 8 plus hours away from me. Besides that nothing. Did tried to get a job in Tennessee but been ghosted. Tried others up there, hell I have tried all around the whole country. Either ghosted or not enough experience or asking pay to much. That one a whole other story. Sorry for the rant. Oh all most forget. Not really hands on either as well. Hope you have a better time then me and a lot of others did.
@@tsumiccrane8281 I just plan to get the certificate so that I can open my own buisness. I plan to reach out to LGS nearby and see if they want to contract any buisness and like Hererra, I plan to make a buisness out of building AKs. That's the dream anyways, like you said, I hope it goes that way.
"I have a problem" That's a HEALTHY productive "problem".
.50 Cal, with safety glasses, safety t-shirt, and safety sandals 👍
The way the barrel wobbles on every shot is insane.
I wonder if it’s supposed to do that.
@@amazinggaming21 it is, that's called barrel harmonics.
For a really wild case of barrel whip, the Romanian PSL is great. Accurate despite the barrel whipping all over the place. The bad example was the M107 175mm self-propelled gun. Has a super long barrel for good range, but terrible shot dispersion because the barrel is whipping around.
Most rifle barrels wiggle like that when watched in slow motion.
It's the SOP for most longer firearms. Perhaps you're the one who's insane.
Moment of silence for Brandon's fifty not swallowing. Respect for setting boundaries, P50.
Thanks for watching and commenting , ❤ you have been randomly selected among winner for today, hit me up via the digits above to claim prize.
I'm glad you shoot this one. Pauza 50 BMG.
Great vid bro!!!
The sound.
it has this high pitched screetch to it, sounds neat. even tho i find the amount of barrel-vibration in the first slow-mo kinda weird
At about the 14 minute mark, the bolt and the bolt carrier looks very similar to the SVT-40 system. Even down to the recoil spring being super aggressive when trying to take it out.
I think it is copy of the svt-40.
Most underrated gun channel...I love the potty mouth don't give a mad fuck attitude combined with the detailed knowledge
3:49 you can really see those barrel harmonics.
nice
The slow mo sound of this being fired sounds like a movie sound effect. Pretty damn cool.
You me be cool… but you’ll never be “I hip fired robocops rifle at a pack of beer in a pair of flip flops” cool.
The Harmonics in that barrel are absolutely insane, you could clearly see at least a half inch of walk in the slow-mo shots!!! Good on you for keeping history alive when all people these days want to do is kill it bad.... Yes I said kill it bad! My son came up with that term when he was little and I was still doing contract work! 😆 Much Love Brother!
Yeah, the barrel wobbles like crazy, saw it too.
I noticed the same thing. Is that normal?
@@mortenrl1946 the barret has the barrel ride on a spring assembly to absorb the shock, this has nada so its gonna take on all the force of that beast of a round
I saw that too but it looks more like a whole inch either way.
Also with the violent action I'm not sure it's going to hold a zero.
I thought maybe it could be caused by the heat distortion or the gas in the video, glad to know I'm not crazy.
Completely forgot about this gun’s existence since it was in Robocop 2, thanks for bringing it back into the light Brandon!
It was in robocop 1 as well as the Cobra Assault Cannon

2. The Barrett m82a2
3. The p50
It's not often I commented on any video, but that has got to be the best sounding 50 I've ever heard
After some of the technical explanations, I am now sitting in my room racking my Yugo SKS pretending it’s a Pauza while Brandon racks the actual Pauza. Take from this what you will.

Hello Mr. Herrera,
In comparison to the Pauza, a close look at an SVT-40 will be enlightening. Even more similarities vs the PTRS-41.
girls:
"its strange that we live longer than boys"
boys:
1:48
0:31 Robocop’s introduction in MK11 definitely brought this to my attention way more, I was always curious as to what .50 he was using
Shows off PTRS and states "I have a problem" my immediate thought is "No you don't".
Great advertizmen by my local supermarket they were laughing abaout prices and when ad stop you laugh while shooting. Best ad spot.
Would love to see a comparison video of all the 50s you can get hands on, like this one is lighter, this one wiggles wierd, etc.
4:35 this implies that more than 36 ak-50s exist
I always thought this weapon was entirely a propmaker's fictional fever dream.
