16 Best Gun YouTube Channels [2023]: A Shot Above the Rest

Hickok45 Review

We’d definitely recommend this channel if you’re at all interested in watching guns go bang. In fact, the guy behind the YouTube channel has an entire career based around shooting guns – how cool is that?

Within the channel’s insane amount of videos, you’ll be able to find a demo of practically any firearm you can imagine. He makes it a point to collect guns specifically for the purposes of shooting them on camera for both your and his own enjoyment!

But it’s not just a great channel for its visual fun. Each video also includes plenty of valuable information about the guns at hand.

Full Mag Review

Full Mag (though it was formerly known as Rated RR) is a YouTube channel hosted by Richard Ryan. As opposed to a more serious and education-focused channel, this video collection emphasizes fun, general gun nuttiness, and lots of action.

As a result, it may not be the best channel if you’re a beginner looking to become more proficient with your chosen firearm.

But it’s a great channel if you already have plenty of experience and just want to watch something go boom.

Forgotten Weapons Review

Despite the fact that firearms of been around for hundreds of years, most modern firearm knowledge focuses on present-day guns.

This channel aims to change that and provides a gold mine of information about old-style firearms and the influential weapons that paved the way for the high-power shooters we use today.

It also focuses on strange and eclectic firearms that tend not to be used in the field but which take up museum space or collect dust in the rooms of dedicated collectors.

Garand Thumb Review

There are a lot of great gun channels on YouTube, but one that really stands out in my mind is Garand Thumb.

The creator of Garand Thumb is Mike Jones who recently retired from the U.S. Air Force and is the founder of Onward Research. Onward Research is a company that are providing mission-essential gear and weapon accessories for armed professionals.

Garand Thumb is a channel that discusses gun and military culture in an educational and humorous manner. On this channel, you’ll be learning a lot, seeing how ammunition performs and if the firearms are up to the task.

Colion Noir Review

Colion Noir is another famous voice in the gun control debate who got his start debating gun control activists that couldn’t come up with logical counterarguments.

And his primary source of income isn’t his YouTube channel. He’s actually an NRA News Commentator.

But he still finds time to put out quality YouTube videos–even with all of his other responsibilities. His success is mainly because he’s one of the best speakers around, both for gun information and entertainment.

The AK Guy Review

The AK Guy, run by Brandon Herrera, is a relatively newer firearm channel but it’s already one of our favorites.

As the name of the channel suggests, it primarily focuses on AK weapon platforms.

Brendan himself is a professional AK builder and loves diving deep into all the aspects of this versatile and worldwide weapon.

Within the channel, you’ll find videos about practically every AK-related topic you can imagine.

Jerry Miculek Review

You might also see this channel referred to as Miculek.com, but they’re attached to the same guy: Jerry Miculek.

Far from just a hobbyist who uses YouTube as a platform to earn some money, Jerry is one of the best sharpshooters in the world and regularly participates (And wins. And sets World Records while doing so) in competitions all over.

But rather than resting on his laurels, Jerry also runs this great YouTube channel that provides entertainment and education in equal measure. Many of the videos focus on very difficult or trick shots (normally pulled off by Jerry himself).

Warrior Poet Society Review

According to John Lovell, it’s not just enough to be a man. For him, it’s about embracing the Warrior Poet within all of us.

He encourages everyone to reach inside and find their strength through vulnerability in order to show bold new masculinity, become a better father and husband, and exhibit love and kindness to their fellows.

But also to be able to flip the switch and become a dangerous protector when that particular need and moment arises.

Military Arms Channel Review

As the name suggests, Military Arms Channel is laser-focused on providing actionable information and military-focused firearm education.

They’re a great resource if you want to know how to become a better shooter or develop better accuracy techniques. But their videos stray far beyond the basic educational topics you’d expect.

Videos on buying used handguns, what firearms and optics are affordable and worth your time, and in-depth gear reviews also make up a significant part of this channel’s video catalog.

Lucky Gunner Ammo Review

If you like guns and education, this is the perfect channel for you.

Rather than constantly hocking certain products or brands, Lucky Gunner is committed to providing neutral and unbiased gun educational information.

It’s a perfect resource for both beginners and for experienced shooters that just want to perfect their technique and buying strategies.

Each of the videos is of particularly high-quality production, and most of them cover interesting rather than gimmicky topics.

NSSF Review

Founded in 1961, the National Shooting Sports Foundation has had one major goal:

To promote, protect, and preserve hunting and shooting sports.

And now with their YouTube channel, they’re able to reach out to even more gun supporters than ever before.

NSSF makes excellent videos that tackle everyday issues of regular gun-owning folk such as how to lead clay birds, cleaning and maintenance tips, how to properly use your equipment, and gun safety.

The Gun Collective Review

The Gun Collective is something of a broad-spectrum firearm channel, covering several gun-related topics instead of focusing on something as super-specific as The AK Guy.

The Gun Collective instead produces videos on practically everything in the firearm industry ranging from gun-control laws and news to gun giveaways to cool firearm competitions and industry developments.

This does make it a great generalist channel to switch to when none of the other more niche channels have a new video (which is rare).

Johnny B Review

Johnny B–aka Gun Drama Johnny–is a hot mess full of witty, comedic takes on what’s happening in the world of guns.

And here at Gun University, we just can’t get enough.

Often, the team here finds ourselves posting the latest Johnny B video through our internal memos. However, he’s not just hilarious.

Johnny’s super in tune with the common shooter and is a champion of knowledge towards the Second Amendment.

RecoilTV Review

The next channel on our list is RecoilTV. RecoilTV is tied to Recoilweb which is a firearms lifestyle magazine covering everything from guns to the lifestyle gun enthusiasts enjoy.

You’ll find gear-heavy content featuring guns, trucks, ATVs, knives, and more.

Recoil has a heap of videos on gun reviews, training tips from the pros, interviews with people from the industry, sports shooting, and self-defense-type content.

GunMagTV Review

A reasonably new gun channel is GunMagTV, which is the video arm of GunMag Warehouse.

I would recommend going to check out GunMag Warehouse if you’re ever needing some more magazines.

GunMag Warehouse has been around since around 2012 and they have the goal of keeping every magazine currently in production, in stock, and ready to ship. Which is keeping us loaded and ready to shoot.

Precision Rifle Network Review

Last, but not least on our list is Precision Rifle Network. Run by Joel Wise–security consultant, firearms instructor, precision rifle competitor, and Gun University contributor–this channel is dedicated to all competitors, hunters, and operators in the precision rifle arena.

Joel’s got this real laid-back, easy-to-follow presentation style that just puts you at ease when watching his videos.

If you’re looking for some great knowledge about real shooting that’s easy to digest, you need to subscribe to Precision Rifle Network.

Demolition Ranch Review

Hosted by Matt, DemolitionRanch is arguably the best trick shot firearm channel on YouTube.

Matt himself performs risky trick shots and is known for shooting (or shooting at) practically anything that viewers ask for, especially when it comes to firing things from a shotgun.

It’s a channel created for fun and games and it definitely shows. But it can be a bit of comedic relief when most other firearm channels are focused on education and information.
