About this video

McPhee discusses the advantages of ultra-light rifle designs, arguing that excessive gun weight causes arm fatigue that degrades accuracy and speed. He shares his experience creating a 10-inch ultra-light rifle and using it in classes to demonstrate how reducing weight can cut group sizes in half, while cautioning against military trends toward sub-guns when rifle calibers remain necessary for combat effectiveness.
