In this episode of the Urban Defense Podcast, we sit down with Brian from Your Arsenal Advisor to talk about guns, tanks, reloading, the SCAR 17, 1911s, why the Marine Corps ditched armor, and what it’s really like trying to run a firearms-focused YouTube channel in 2025.

We get into:

How he got started making gun content on YouTube

His background (Marine Corps, construction management, lifelong shooter)

Why he films tanks, armor, and range footage

His favorite rifles and pistols (SCAR 17S, SIG P229, Glocks, 10mm G20)

Reloading basics, safety, case gauges, headspace, ladder testing

Algorithm throttling, demonetization, takedowns, and appeals

Why even “normal” content like painting a rifle or showing historical rifles gets flagged

And yes… SCAR 17 vs 1911 vs “Two World Wars”

We also talk about Marine Corps armor, historic tanks, museum access, AR platform details (bolt catch, dust cover, forward assist debates), and how comments/shares literally decide whether videos like this get seen.
