Some super slowmo testing on the Amigo Grande. Frame rate is high enough it caught the bullet in flight!
A couple things can be learned here - most importantly, that the barrel is rigidly affixed to the receiver, and that harmonic wiggle is dampened quickly. You can also see that the receiver itself doesn't twist or wiggle (the handguard does have a little flex, but that's ok). Having no wiggle in the receiver ensures a long fatigue life for the receiver - which keeps things safe.

I'm Ivan - a fella who works to document and record the history and technical background of the development of homemade firearms. You may know me from my work with ARES Research to help author reports about this topic - this channel shows the "behind the scenes" testing that goes into building the body of knowledge requied.
Regardless of if you are here for the research, technology, or just to see some funky looking guns tested, I hope you enjoy.
