The roundup did most of the work. Jon Patton's "WOW! New Guns + Gun Co ATTACKED?" collected roughly 131,000 views, making it TheGunCollective's most-watched new upload and its busiest video for daily viewing.
There is plenty packed between the headlines: Derya's new firearms, Smith & Wesson's Model 22 and Model 1917 Classic revolvers, and SK Guns' "La Catrina" 1911. Beretta's anniversary collection gets a turn too, including the custom APX Falco pistol. The Italian maker traces its history to 1526, giving this particular product showcase five centuries of context.
Patton also makes a distinction about his reviewing approach: "When I'm offered a prototype to shoot, I say no." His preference is to try what buyers will actually receive. Later, the "Friendly Fire" segment returns the microphone to viewer questions about the Ruger RXM, his hoodie and Bergara's ammunition guidance. The episode also contains an Extar promotional segment.
The business desk is busy: Patton reports on GrabAGun acquiring Camfour, FN Browning Group buying Accuracy International and an arson attack on B&T's Swiss facility.
The second upload, "That's not great...", drew a much smaller audience. Last week's "WOW! TONS of new guns JUST came out!" remains among the catalog's busiest daily draws. Subscribers held steady, while channel-wide daily views ran below their usual pace. Nearby, 9-Hole Reviews had an above-usual viewing day; TheGunCollective finished its week with roughly 273,000 views across the catalog.
