A collectible rifle and a practical firearm are not necessarily the same thing. Colion Noir makes that distinction in "Haitian Gang Leader Has One of the RAREST Machine Guns on Earth," examining footage of what appears to be a Colt R80 Monitor in Haiti.

The upload reached roughly 293,000 views, the largest audience for a new release in his fifteen-upload week. Noir traces the rifle's law-enforcement origins through archive clips of Forgotten Weapons host Ian McCollum, then weighs its historical appeal against its weight and recoil. The important qualification sits in the description: the firearm has not been physically authenticated, and it could be a Browning Automatic Rifle conversion rather than an original Monitor. How it reached Haiti remains unanswered. The video also contains paid sponsorship segments.

That mix of collecting interest and practical skepticism runs through the week's reviews. In "I Shot a World Champion's Pistol... Now I Get It," Noir admires the CZ TS 3 Orange's shooting experience despite having no plans to compete, while singling out its safety for criticism. A separate Mossberg review explores a compact, magazine-fed shotgun with a folding stock.

The Haiti commentary carries the most daily momentum, followed by "The FBI's Good Guy With A Gun Statistics Don't Add Up." That upload examines competing counts of armed-civilian interventions, including the different definitions and exclusions behind them. Another Haiti-focused upload is also drawing substantial daily views.

Across the channel, the week brought about five million views while subscribers held steady. Daily viewing is above its usual level, though not dramatically so. Forgotten Weapons, whose archive material features in Noir's main upload, also has an elevated daily audience. For Noir, historical firearms and arguments about present-day gun laws remain closely connected subjects.
