Why I use Patreon to support this channel:
I love the firearms community and am thrilled to be able to give back to it by way of producing content for it. I want to both continue my pace of content production as well as improve its quality, all while adding to its diversity (shooting for accuracy videos, destructive target testing, high speed / slow motion, etc).

Appearances aside, I am not just some rich guy with a ton of guns. I had a good job and ideal set of circumstances for a few years that allowed me to invest heavily in building up a sizeable collection. Those circumstances are changing, and now I am turning to the community to help continue to make this channel exciting and successful. Your help and support are greatly appreciated.

All funds received by YouTube (very insignificant as firearms videos are largely demonetized) and by supporters via Patreon are to be reinvested into this channel in the following ways:
- Purchase and import of new feature firearms/gear: Being in Canada, it is often difficult for manufacturers/distributors to send me firearms for testing and review. Instead, I often have to purchase them personally, and in some cases even import them into the country.
- Ammunition: It takes funds to run the guns enough to be able to get a good overall impression for an accurate review.
- Production value: I am always looking to add better camera and lighting gear to be able to improve the final product you see.
- Range and targets: from more static steel targets, to future destructive target testing.
- Travel to distributors/manufacturers/industry shows to get the content on the latest and greatest

What can I say, it’s the AWM..

Actually it’s a step better as it’s the AWSM (acronym for ‘awesome’ (jk, but it should be)). The AWSM is the AWM’s big brother.

Below is a handy guide for the AW family
AI = Accuracy International, the company that designed and makes these rifles
AW = Arctic Warfare, the family that makes up multiple rifles in different calibers. The standard AI AW is a .308 rifle.
AWM = Arctic Warfare Magnum, referring to the model of AW rifle that is chambered in .300WM
AWSM = Arctic Warfare Super Magnum, reffing to the model of AW rifle chambered in .338LM

Fun fact:
A British sniper held the world record for the longest confirmed kill for quite some time (eventually a Canadian blew it out of the water) with the AWSM. It was 2475 meters. It took the bullet approx 6 seconds to travel that distance, and required compensation for bullet drop of almost 400 feet.

This is a beautiful rifle and I am lucky to have it in my collection at this time. This is a 2007 production gun with a British military fluted barrel. It is formally known as the L115. Mine is the later “A3” model with folding stock and 2 chamber threaded muzzle brake. The A3 also saw a switch from the traditional Parker Hale bipod to the new Harris bipod. I preferred the Parker Hale, but alas, the Parker Hale can still be installed on this rifle.

These were traditionally outfitted with a Schmidt & Bender PMii scope with several ranges, either 3-12, 4-16, or 5-25. While originally designed for optimal performance in subzero Arctic conditions, the upgraded .338LM rifle was fielded in the Afghanistan and subsequent wars in the Middle East. It was brought forth as part of Britain’s improved sniping program. Where other countries were outfitting snipers with .308’s or .300wm’s, Britain was the first to jump up to .338LM, a round capable out to 2500meters and beyond. It was used as a part of a two man crew. One would have the L115A3, and another would have the L129 (LMT MWS .308 semi auto AR10).
