SMITH & WESSON M&P 15-22 | THE ULTIMATE 22LR?

what's up YouTube welcome to gun Meister today we're going to be checking out the Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 this is a super fun gun to shoot and we're gonna have a lot of fun with this thing today let me kind of show you some of the features this has and talk about it a little bit my experience with it and one thing I like about this gun a lot is that it emulates the regular ar-15 very much as far as controls and stuff like that and we'll go over that in a second but the other thing that's nice about it is if you shoot an AR a lot you realize that you know five five six or two to three rounds can get pricey well with this dude you shooting 22s and the great thing about it is that you're using a lot of the same movements that you would use like with your AR so you're really building a lot of muscle memory as far as control manipulation and stuff like that let me kind of show you some of the things that this gun comes with now this is the M&P 15-22 sport it comes with the in bus sights and these are Magpul backup sights they're flip-up sights front and rear and they are adjustable for windage and elevation you also get with this guy is a 25 round mag when you go to load these you can slip them in one at a time but there's also this button right here that will really help you load them a lot easier you know because if you start doing one at a time right here it's gonna wear your thumb out pretty quick so it comes with the standard ar-15 adjustable stock you can replace these if you like I will say this this buffer tube is milspec size so if you have a milspec stock that you really like buttstock you can put on there it'll fit just fine alright so when you buy this it also comes with this little Picatinny rail right here in the box and you can put this anywhere on here you like I just put it up here because they have this little light which is kind of a cool little light and it just snaps on there and you know I like that on there the does have a hold open so when you're shooting this gun after you shoot your last round it's gonna hold open for you which is kind of cool one of the thing I'm going to tell you is this is a standard like AR flash suppressor on here threaded half-inch by 28 so you can put a different muzzle brake on here or a suppressor whatever you like it's no problem this is a really super fun gun guys so I'll tell you what let's head over the range now let's go have some fun today come on I figured we just start on the rifle range and let's just put a cup on target and see how this guy does real quick go ahead and use the bolt release and here we go [Applause] this is like like one of those guns you take the range and you're bringing like 500 rounds you think that's plenty and before you know it you're going back to the store to get more so you can shoot it some more let's go ahead and try that again speed it up just a little bit [Applause] sort of it a little faster and kind of go through the whole grommet let's see what that looks like [Applause] when you shoot this it's a lot of fun it's accurate but let's go ahead and try reliability so I've got 225 round mags loaded up let's go ahead and run it pretty fast and see how it does with that [Applause] no problem with that first mag slow the second one that's that's really nice I tell you what no problems whatsoever I want to tell you something else if you're running like a red dot like this SIG Romeo a lot of people will shoot with one eye closed I found that to shoot this gun faster you're better off to leave both eyes open and you can literally see that red dot in your vision but with both eyes open I feel like you can find your next target a lot quicker that's actually pretty sick let's go back to 100 and see how this guy does come on alright guys so we're back here at 100 a couple of things with this this gun is it's really light it's about four pounds so when you're shooting from the shoulder you don't get a lot of fatigue the other thing I tell you with this being a 22 your recoil is next to nothing in fact I think I get more recoil from brushing my teeth than shooting this gun so I mean your follow up shots and everything like that seem to be pretty quick and right on target let's see how she does it a hundred no problem no problem whatsoever and the thing is with the no recoil I'm not really moving off target let's go ahead and try that to you leader on the top look at that huh let's go ahead and see if we can get some of the smaller plates with this thing [Applause] [Music] Wow no problem whatsoever in fact that's so fun let's try another mag we're at a hundred yards with this thing we're having no problems hitting anything so if you want to use this as like a rabbit gun or something like that I would say you'd have no problem whatsoever well the thing is accurate as could be I had no trouble even on those follow-up shot guys I mean this this thing is a straight shooter I really want to see how accurate this is and what kind of velocity we're getting out of this let's go check that out come on what we're using today is just Remington golden bullets bulk ammo so let's go ahead and load this up and let's take let's do 10 shots and see how how accurate we can get there we go let's go see how we did it's a pretty good group guys this is a fire okay where again I was I was holding the reticle right about here but it was hard to see with any accuracy whatsoever because it's a it's a three MOA so at that distance the red dot was covering for the most part all of this so but even still that's a very respectable group I mean you could do whatever you want to do with that that's a good firing roof no complaints there let's go see what the velocity on that thing is come on alright so for this shoot today we've been using the Remington golden bullet it's a thirty six green hollow-point and it's advertised velocity is 180 feet per second so let's go ahead and see so let's go ahead and see what it's getting out of this MMP here first shots 12:38 1163 1253 1202 and 1244 all right well the advertised was 1280 and we're getting about 1220 as our average which isn't bad I mean you're losing about 40 feet per second which isn't a huge huge deal but you know it's good to know it's good information all right guys we're over here at the pistol range and this is where the fun factor this guy comes in so I figured we'd have a little fun with it so let's try this let's go left to right to the left to popper ready let's do it here we go I will say this though the 22 doesn't have quite enough to do the popper in but the good news is we have more ammo let's keep going very nice let's go one more let's see this one okay let's try this every other one so go every other one and then back all the way to the end and then let's do five shots to the head of the popper ready let's do it [Applause] very nice hey the popper move let's get it you can't hit it but you got to kind of Knick it so very very nice very nice that's fun fun fun I think you know what should do let's go try an FSU and see how it does with that come on let's go set it up alright guys we got the FSU set up here's the deal we got four bad guys right here we got to get through to get to the boss let's see if we can do [Applause] [Applause] all right we made it through those guys let's hit rattle can Rick here looking good so far well I guess it's true what they say size doesn't matter it's how you use it [Applause] awesome great gun alright guys well this is a really fun gun I had a lot of fun making this video for you today this kind of super fun to shoot a lot of a lot of enjoyment you know at the range with this guy it's a great printer it's a good gun I have no complaints about it I'm gonna go ahead and give it its ratings build quality on this guy I'm gonna give it three and a half stars not that it's a bad build but you have a lot of polymer the buffer tube polymer lower polymer up or polymer foregrip polymer and the other thing too is the buffer tube is actually part of the lower so it's not detachable you can't really do much with that again it's not a problem with the gun but I'm gonna give it three and a half stars because I feel like if this lower was metal you know it had the traditional metal parts on it that a typical AR has I feel like the build would just feel better to me ergonomically though I'm gonna give it four stars because everything is where you'd find it on the AR so if you're comfortable with an AR you're used to that platform this guy is gonna be second nature for ya okay because everything is pretty much where you'd find it on an AR okay so I'm gonna go ahead and give the ergonomics of this four stars accuracy four stars no problems there it hit every target I was shooting at have little to no trouble finding my targets and hitting him reliability had no problems out of this whatsoever today you know we we did a lot of fast shooting rapid shooting plinking a lot of different ways and this gun performed flawlessly had no problems with it at all FSU I feel like the FSU was really good with this gun it didn't let me down so I'm gonna give it a five star rating on the FSU yeah overall guys I'm gonna give this gun four-and-a-half stars I mean it's a great gun it's a lot of fun I mean it comes with the Magpul flip up side of the box out of the box is ready to go I mean great little gun fun gun really enjoyed shooting it it's a good training tool to get all-around gun well guys that's gonna do it for this episode the gun Meister I hope you enjoyed it if you did make sure to like share and subscribe and it's always happy shooting we'll see you guys next time on the gun mine [Music] probably gonna need to think of the fire
